Emma Pass has been making up stories for as long as she can remember. She wrote her first novel when she was thirteen – a sequel to Jurassic Park – in maths lessons with her notebook under her work. She used to be a library assistant but now works as a full-time writer, creative writing tutor, mentor and editor.

Emma is autistic, has Cerebral Palsy and lives with CFS ME. She has published five novels: two for adults, two for teenagers and one for children. She’s won awards for her YA novels and been nominated twice for the Carnegie Medal. She also writes poetry and in 2020 was commissioned to make a poetry film for the Derwent Valley Mills World Heritage Site.
