S F Williamson

S. F. Williamson is the author of A Language of Dragons and A War of Wyverns. She is fascinated by the way languages are born and was surrounded by them long before she undertook degrees in French and Italian. She has always kown that languages are creatures that live and move and breathe, and as a child she learned that speaking them meant accessing ideas, traditions, and people she would only otherwise know from a distance. She is inspired by her work as a literary translator and the fact that no matter how intimately a linguist knows their languages, some meaning is almost always lost in translation. A graduate of Bath Spa University's MA writing for young people program, Steph now lives in France with her husband and son.
