S.A Partridge lives in Cape Town, South Africa and is the author of the award-winning book, The Goblet Club – a novel about a young man’s frightening experience in the world’s worst boarding school. The novel won the SABC/You Magazine I am a writer Competition in 2007, as well as the MER Prize for Best Youth Novel at the Mnet Via Afrika Awards in 2008.
Her second novel, Fuse, deals with the sensitive subjects of school killings, bullying and runaways, and is set on the streets of Cape Town and Pretoria. It was published in 2009 by Human and Rousseau.
Sally’s short story, Triolet, Mauritius. One am, will appear in the Home and Away Anthology by Zebra Press in 2010.
The trials and tribulations of the average teenager are subjects very close to her heart and precisely what got her putting pen to paper in the first place. Sally likes to think that she writes about young people and not for them, despite gaining a steady following of teenage readers. And writing about young people also ensures you always have something to write about.
By day she is the assistant editor of a film magazine and two monthlies, including The Callsheet and by night a freelance writer and editor. Her novel editing experience includes the Emily series by Karen Michelle Brooks.
Sally-Ann lives amongst a terrifying, close-to-collapsing pile of books that is ever-expanding and two evil tempered cats.
