Sue H Cunningham

Sue H. Cunningham writes award-winning young adult fiction with humour and a hint of magic. She won the Dudley Teen Book Award 2025, the WriteMentor Children’s Novel Award 2020 and was an SCBWI Undiscovered Voices winner in 2022. She has also been shortlisted/longlisted for other awards including Northern Writers’, Bath Children’s Novel Award, Sussex Amazing Book Awards and Buckinghamshire Book Awards.

Her debut murder mystery, TOTALLY DECEASED, was published October 2023 and supernatural romcom CLOUD NINE followed in February 2025. Her third book, NEVERLAST, will publish in August 2026. She’s also sold more than fifty short stories to magazines in the UK, Australia, Sweden, Finland and South Africa.
Sue lives in Manchester with her husband, two sons and a super clingy cockapoo. When she’s not writing, or tripping over electric guitar cables and decapitated squeaky toys, she works for the NHS.
