Bridget Collins

I'm the author of The Binding and The Betrayals. I've also written seven novels for teenagers as B. R. Collins.

I always wanted to be an actor when I grew up, so after university I went to drama school and did my best to make it on the stage... but writing sneaked up on me, first as a way to stay sane and then as an incredible, brilliant way to make a living. My first novel for young adults was published in 2008, and won the Branford Boase Award; after that I published six more for teenagers before turning to adult fiction with The Binding, which became a no.1 bestseller, and The Betrayals, which debuted at no.7.
