Hi, thanks for visiting.

​I'm A.J. Betts, West Australian author of young adult fiction. ​My books include the duology Hive and Rogue (Pan Macmillan, 2018/2019), Zac & Mia (Text Publishing, 2013), Wavelength (Fremantle Press, 2010), and Shutterspeed (Fremantle Press, 2008).

Cover Reveal!

Pre-orders are now available via the Pan Macmillan website.

I have been desperate to share the cover of my sixth novel, One Song, with you, and now I can. It's the very cool creation of designer Astred Hicks, at Design Cherry. Do you love it? I think it's perfect.

One Song is a return to realism (after my dystopian/speculative-fiction duology, Hive and Rogue) and it was HEAPS of fun to write.

One Song feels like the most autobiographical novel I've written yet. It's the distillation of my experience of being seventeen—the energy and passion, the strangeness and fear, the pressure and terrifying hope—in a tightly-knit, emotionally-charged package. This is the book that I wish my younger self could've read. 

I can't wait for you to read it, too. It'll be out July 25 with Pan Macmillan Australia. More info and event details to come. 

About Zac & Mia TV

Zac & Mia, the Hollywood TV series (based on my 2013 novel), is no longer streaming in Australia but if you're keen to see it, you can find it on iTunes. Around the world, it's streaming on various platforms.
