Welcome to the website of Menna van Praag: author, tutor and creative writing mentor.
When not squirrelled away in my hobbit hole writing novels, I supervise Master's students
on Cambridge University's MSt in Creative Writing and lecture at their Institute of Continuing Education. Last year I co-founded the Cambridge Creative Writing Company which offers in-person tutorials
throughout the year. Occasionally, I mentor writers working on their novels - when I'm not writing my own.

The Biscuit Tin Murders. I've never attempted the crime genre before but I do love a challenge
