After six years teaching in Europe, Australia and Asia, Nicola Prentis did an MA in ELT in York, England. Nicola then continued teaching abroad but took a new interest in designing materials. In 2010, she started writing graded readers and contributed to coursebooks and digital content for various publishers. She finds it difficult to stay in one place and has lived in 12 cities in 12 years. At present she's happily living in Madrid but is very tempted by Burlington, Vermont, USA.
