Eve Harvey is a bookaholic. She is forever to be found with her nose in a book. If there are none around then newspapers, magazines, the back of cereal packets, road signs or the tiny washing labels found on the seams of jumpers will do.
Her other passion is writing and she is clawing her way through the mire that is the publishing industry; biting, scratching and kicking her way towards that ever more elusive publishing deal.
Eve has a full time job as a children’s bookseller so her first love has to be literature for children and teens, although she has been known to read grown-up books (not very often though – they didn’t put in enough hours when they invented days). She especially loves to find brand new authors and is always on the lookout for a stunning début.
Eve is also the Podcast Officer for the Litopia Writers’ Podcast. A timely, irreverent, unashamedly intelligent and – addictive personalities beware – furiously compelling panel discussion show covering what’s new, hot or not in the worlds of writing, publishing, media and culture. She also hosts “Eve’s Salmagundi Club” five days a week on Litopia Daily, where she scours the net looking for interesting items to share with her fellow writers. You can find her detailed and erudite show-notes and listen to her at http://podcast.litopia.com/
Eve lives in a field just outside Edinburgh in Scotland with her daughter and son… and two dogs and two rabbits. She also has some tanks of tropical fish and vows one day to start up a marine aquarium. And the day she signs her very first publishing deal she is going to celebrate by buying a pair of Horsefields tortoises.
