Bethany
Loveridge

Bethany Loveridge is a passionate educator and children’s author-illustrator who has always loved storytelling and the natural world. She’s been in trouble for daydreaming and doodling since she could dribble and has dreamt of having books with her name on their covers for almost as long. Her past jobs include youth worker, film, TV and visual art teacher, curriculum specialist and museum nerd (not the official title).

Bethany’s books include the series, Harper Wells
(Books 1 and 2), Josie Mack and the MEGA Division, Genie Snail, and The Picture-Perfect Present.

Bethany lives in Queensland, Australia with her trivia-loving husband and two creative kids. When she’s not writing or teaching in a secondary classroom, Bethany is Publisher at Perentie Press, an independent Australian publisher of graphic novels for kids. She is also the state director of the Queensland branch of SCBWI Australia East and enjoys supporting Queensland's burgeoning children's literature community.
