David Belbin is one of the most popular and richest Writer who was born on January 19, 1958 in Sheffield, England, United Kingdom. David Lawrence Belbin (born 19 January 1958) is an English novelist from England.

Since the release of Nicked! at the end of 1999 Belbin wrote a collection of short novels that are targeted at readers who are reluctant which often tackle the same type of provocative themes as his long-form work. Stray (2006) concerns a girl-gang and drug trafficking, and Shouting to the Stars (2005) about the breakdown of a young disabled musician is among the many books that show his interest in the world of popular music.

Belbin began his career by writing Young Adult Fiction, where his work is known for breaking boundaries and dealing responsibly with difficult social issues that affect teenagers. He first attained success with a number of books for Scholastic’s Point Crime series. One of these, Avenging Angel, led to his own popular series, The Beat, which followed a group of young police officers through their two-year probationary period, culminating in the adult novel length Fallen Angel in 2000. The series dealt with racism, rape, paedophilia and homosexuality as well as conventional crimes, often of the kind committed by teenagers.

In 2004, Belbin organised Turning Point, the UK’s first national conference on Young Adult Fiction. It featured many significant Young Adult Fiction authors, including Kevin Brooks, Melvyn Burgess, Anne Cassidy, Keith Gray, Graham Marks, Nicola Morgan, Beverley Naidoo and Bali Rai. In 2012, he became a trustee of Nottingham Playhouse. He chairs the company that successfully bid for Nottingham to become a Unesco City of Literature, the city receiving the award in December, 2015.

Belbin’s most well-known Young Adult novel is Love Lessons that was released in 1998. “It is a full-length novel which examines the machinations and morality of a sexual affair between a male English teacher and a fifteen-year- old female student,” Belbin has stated. “I wrote the first draft as an adult novel. The young-adult version took me nearly ten years and a brave editor to get right, but it turned out to be a better book for it.” Denial was published in 2004, explores the same subject–a teacher being is accused of molesting his student, but in the first person. However, the majority of readers found it more shocking. His most popular books in the last decade include Festival (2002) which is about the Glastonbury Festival, and The Last Virgin (2003) about the Glastonbury Festival as well as The Last Virgin (2003) that is a broad book on sexuality among teenagers The author has a tendency to be sympathetic rather than criticize. He has written many stories about young adults, but this one is the most open and forthright.’
