Before the Dawn

Emma Pass grew up in Surrey and has been making up stories for as long as she can remember. She wrote her first novel - a sequel to Jurassic Park - when she was 13 in maths lessons with her notebook hidden under her work.

She previously worked as a library assistant and has published two novels for young adults and a non-fiction creative writing e-guide. In 2020 she was commissioned to create a poetry-film for the Derwent Valley Mills World Heritage Site. She is now a full-time writer, creative writing teacher, editor and mentor. She has ME and, at the age of 40, was diagnosed as being on the autistic spectrum.

Emma lives in Derbyshire with her artist husband and a very naughty retired racing greyhound called Auburn. When shes not writing she loves to read and knit (often at the same time).
