Frances Prentice



Frances Prentice is a mother of six,
including one stillborn, who lives with her husband and two youngest children
on a cattle property in rural Queensland. She juggles her writing with home
schooling, tutoring and runing a home school co-op. She loves creating stories
with young people and is planning to self-publish works she has co-written with
young authors. She has a passion for helping people with reading and writing
difficulties so they can experience the joy she has had in literature. She is
an avid reader of middle-grade and young adult fiction, who first dreamt of
being an author at the age of eight. She always thought she would be
middle-aged when she began this career, once she had some life experience.











Frances has been shortlisted twice in
Furious Fiction by Australian Writers Centre in 2023. Her short story Uplifted was included in the anthology The Opposite of Disappearing (2021) and I am Vine in Audrey Puzzle Magazine
(2020). Her ballad, Love at First Sigh
was included in the anthology Tell 'em
They're Dreaming (2020). Always, Your Sister is her first
middle-grade novel, releasing in 2025.
