On a cold Autumn evening back in 2008, seven-year-old Tegan Anderson began to write their first short stories, finding a more creative way to learn their spellings. Many years and many more short stories later, they haven’t stopped for anything. Now, they’re writing more than they ever believed possible.
Tegan may write the worlds they would prefer to exist in but currently lives in Devon with their overflowing bookshelves and expanding imagination.
Little Oaks Independent Publishing is an independent publishing company founded in Cornwall in 2022 by Tegan Anderson.
