Lize Meddings: British creator of The Sad Ghost Club — gentle, lo-fi graphic novels about anxiety, loneliness and finding people who understand, for ages 11–16.

Lize Meddings is a British author-illustrator born in Bristol, best known as the creator of The Sad Ghost Club, a gentle graphic-novel series about lonely, anxious ghost-like young people finding one another and building a small community of understanding. The books grew out of an online comic Meddings began as a personal project around mental-health experience, and have become one of the most validating teen / older-middle-grade graphic novels in current UK publishing on anxiety, loneliness and asking for help. Her style is soft, lo-fi, deliberately accessible, closer to webcomic warmth than to slick mainstream comics, and her tone is reassuring rather than bleak. A core graphic-novel author for ages 11–16 navigating mental-health experience.
