Angela Young

Angela Young is a graduate of Middlesex University’s MA in Creative Writing. In 1995, BBC Books published her 30,000-word ending to Edith Wharton’s last, unfinished novel, The Buccaneers.

Subsequently Angela has had two novels published, Speaking of Love in 2007 (paperback in 2008) and The Dance of Love in 2014. Both novels explore what happens when we don’t say what’s in our hearts; when we don’t talk about what really matters when it really matters. Both novels are also about hope and love.

In March 2026, Angela’s first piece of non-fiction, The Aristocrat and the Able Seaman, is published by The History Press. It tells the story of two courageous Titanic survivors and shows how they – despite very different backgrounds – worked together in their shared lifeboat to shepherd twenty-five others to safety on that terrifying night in 1912.

Angela Young lives and writes in south-west London.
