I’ve lived in Melbourne for four years but I still don’t know where anything is. If you see a lost-looking woman carrying a stack of books and calling out “Where am I?” that’s probably me.
I have two children. They run rings around me but in return I get to use their funny little ways as ideas for new stories, and keep all the profits. Poor things, they walk around the streets in bare feet, so they do.
I used to live in London and have a proper job and wear high-heels and get haircuts…I think that was me, anyway.
Sometimes I stop what I’m doing suddenly and think: ‘Oh god, if I couldn’t write any more, what would I do?’ And then I just carry on and hope for the best.
My mum brought me up good n’ proper so if you’d like to write to me, I promise to reply. My email address is em@emilygale.co.uk

Hi Emily! My name is Samantha Bousquet and i am a book reviewer! As you can see, my website is http://bundlesofbooks101.blogspot.com/ . I was checking out your book, Girl Out Loud (this is what it said on goodreads, but on your website is says Girl Aloud?) and i love the story line. I was wondering if you had an ARC for me to read and reviewer for my blog? I hope to hear from you soon!
Samantha
Dear Samantha,
Thanks for your message and apologies for the delay – I’ve been very slack on all things website-related since this year’s NaNoWriMo. I don’t have an ARC of GIRL OUT LOUD because I’ve only just today approved all the changes that have been made for the US market (which was a really fun job thanks to the great editors at Scholastic) so it’s a bit early still. The book was originally published as GIRL ALOUD in the UK but I’m sure you’d rather read the shiny new US version…?
Cheers,
Emily
