Victoria Aveyard is living every writer’s dream. At the age of 25, the screenwriting graduate is already a bestselling author, has had her novel, Red Queen, optioned for a movie and has written Eternal, a screenplay that, according to US entertainment trade magazine Variety, has been acquired by Sony Pictures. Her second novel, Glass Sword, which was released last month, is already climbing book charts around the world.

Aveyard laughs nervously when I suggest that her rise – at least in the publishing world – is nothing short of meteoric.
