Best-selling and proudly dyslexic author Emer Stamp grew up on a sheep farm in Devon. Her first dream was to be a vet, but she was rubbish at science.
Her second was to design record covers, but the medium became obsolete. Finally, she moved to London and alighted on a career in advertising.
Here she had much more success.
Rising through the ranks, she became Executive Creative Director of one of the most successful agencies in the world, creating and working on high-profile campaigns, including the iconic John Lewis Christmas adverts.
In 2015, she decided to hang up her marketing boots and pursue writing
full-time. Since then, she has written and illustrated ten books, earning widespread acclaim for her humorous style and winning the prestigious Laugh Out Loud Book Awards along the way.
Emer believes passionately in the
power of humour in fiction and believes it to be an important driver when encouraging children to read.
When she is not writing she can be found in downward-facing dog, or playing her banjo.
