Emma Clayton, Author

Emma Clayton, author of The Roar, was born in 1968 and now lives in Leamington Spa with her two children. In her late teens, she trained as a Field Archaeologist with the Oxford Archaeological Unit, then went on to become a freelance illustrator, influenced by her interest in comics and film. She returned to education in her mid-twenties, studying film and screen writing.

Emma's advice to aspiring authors? 'Perceive the ability to see faults in your work as a good thing. Spend time away from your work so you can be objective about it, then re-write again and again until the day you come back to it and like it.'
