Leon Egan grew up in Liverpool before moving to London where they completed their MA in Publishing Studies. In addition to their debut YA novel, which was published in 2024, they are the writer and producer of Tell No Tales, a scripted fiction podcast about ghosts. When not working on one of their various projects, they’re probably doing something writing-adjacent, like inventing increasingly absurd characters for their friends’ Dungeons & Dragons campaign.
Lover Birds, Leon’s debut YA novel, was published by HarperFire in July 2024 and was shortlisted for the Waterstone’s Children’s Book Prize.
Listen Closely, their second YA novel, was published by HarperFire in July 2025.
