Early life

Career
[edit]In June 2019, Puffin published Bryon's first book, Look Up!, conceived jointly with illustrator Dapo Adeola.[2] It won both the overall award and the illustrated book award at the 2020 Waterstones Children's Book Prize.[3] Adeola later complained that, although Bryon had given him full credit for his part in the book's creation, both the book trade and the media minimized the significance of the illustrator's role.[2]
Bryon published a play in July 2019 called Dexter and Winter's Detective Agency and another book in July 2020 called Clean Up.
In March 2021, Puffin announced Bryon as the first Puffin World of Stories ambassador.
Byron wrote and co-created Bloods, a sitcom on Sky Comedy which debuted in 2021. He co-wrote his first feature film screenplay, Rye Lane, with Tom Melia; it was directed by Raine Allen-Miller and premiered at the 2023 Sundance Film Festival.
