Jaclyn Moriarty grew up in Sydney, Australia, and studied Law and English on three continents - at Sydney University in Australia, Yale in the US and Cambridge in England. She spent four years working as a media and entertainment lawyer, but now writes full-time. Jaclyn lives in Sydney and Montreal, depending on where the summer is, but is currently staying in Australia with her new baby.

Jaclyn's first novel for young adults, Feeling Sorry for Celia , was an instant bestseller in Australia, America and the UK. She followed this up with the equally fantastic Finding Cassie Crazy and Becoming Bindy Mackenzie. Jaclyn also writes for adults - and she is already writing her next novel.
