Maddy Mara

Maddy Mara is not just a pen name; it represents the creative collaboration between Australian duo Hilary Rogers and Meredith Badger. With almost twenty years of experience in writing children's books, Hilary, a seasoned author and former publishing director, has successfully launched multiple bestselling series. On the other hand, Meredith, an accomplished writer for kids and young adults, also spends her time teaching English to children who are learning it as a foreign language.

Their latest project, The Dragon Girls, marks the first time these talented women have joined forces under the name Maddy Mara. The moniker itself is a tribute to their daughters, symbolizing the unity of their two distinct writing styles.
