Chinese Whisperings is pleased to welcome Icy Sedgwick, the fourth of our new girls for this year’s anthology.

Northern born and now London based, Icy has been writing for as long as she can remember, moving from wax crayons to digital publishing, via typewriters and creative writing classes.

She decided to become a writer when she was 16, and has spent the past decade honing the craft, writing short stories, flash fiction, and in 2008 she completed her first novel, a supernatural middle grade novel which she is currently redrafting.

When asked if she wanted to participate in this year’s anthology, it didn’t take Icy long to answer:

I said yes because I was really impressed by the outcome of 2009’s Chinese Whisperings, and I think it’s a fantastic concept! I’m a big fan of the short story, and it’s being used in such an interesting way. Writers by nature are solitary creatures, so it’s nice to be able to take part in something collaborative!

Read Icy’s full bio and enjoy more of her writing at Icy’s Blunt Pencil.

Tomorrow we welcome back Rob Diaz.
