Tegan McCarthy
For 12-year-old Tegan McCarthy, writing has always been a part of her life, even since she was a young child.
âThe way you can create your own world by using words and making individual characters and places has always astonished me,â she said. âWriting and reading are something I turn to when I need a break from reality because I get a feeling that characters you can create understand you more than anyone really.â
