Jacob North was born in South England and grew up with a longing for magical adventures that centred LGBT+ characters. Struggling to find them on bookshop shelves, he decided to write them himself. When he’s not butchering the Dutch language or holding out for a snowy winter, he’s crafting whimsical worlds with characters who happen to be diverse.
Ice Apprentices, the first instalment in his debut magical middle-grade series, was published by Simon & Schuster on 30th January 2025. The adventurous sequel, The Frozen Curse, has since been released a year later.
