Bio

Gayle Forman is an award-winning journalist with a bit of a split personality, professionally speaking (maybe because she’s a Gemini). On one hand, she’s an avid traveler, who cruised around the world for a year with her husband and wrote about her experiences with strange subcultures in the far corners of the globe in the travelogue, You Can’t Get There From Here: A Year on the Fringes of a Shrinking World. On the other hand, she’s a former staff writer at Seventeen magazine and a perpetual teenager who writes young-adult novels, like Sisters in Sanity, which is about five kick-ass girls who bond together to support one another through a crazy time in their lives—not to mention to shut down a corrupt school. You can learn all about both Gayles on her website, which has excerpts from both of her books, plus articles and all kinds of fun extras. Gayle lives in Brooklyn, New York, with her husband, Nick, and their daughter, Willa, and she loves to get email, so feel free to drop her a line.
