Emily Gale was born in London and worked as a children's book editor for several years before going freelance. She is the author of several pre-school books and YA novel Girl Aloud, which has been published in the UK, Germany and the US, where it is called Girl Out Loud. It was shortlisted for a regional UK award and described by Jaclyn Moriarty as 'powerful, funny, wise and true'. In 2008 Emily and her Australian-born partner moved to Melbourne with their two children. Since then she has worked on two charity projects in the publishing field, including the Authors For Queensland auction which raised over $20,000 for the victims of the floods. She is now a children's book buyer and bookseller at Readings. Emily's first book set in Australia is Steal My Sunshine.
