Sally Gardner is an award-winning British author whose books have sold over three million copies worldwide. Her latest, The Bride Stone, is set during the French Revolution and explores love, survival, and the commodification of women. Gardner has always believed the past is “just a breath away,” a conviction rooted in her London childhood, when thick fogs felt like portals into Dickens’s world. Diagnosed late with dyslexia, she did not learn to read until fourteen, yet storytelling was her first language. She trained in theatre before turning to writing, guided by editor Judith Elliott who told her: “You are a writer.” Her novels include I, Coriander (Nestlé Prize), Maggot Moon (Costa and Carnegie Medals), and The Weather Woman (shortlisted HWA Gold Crown). She also writes adult fiction as Wray Delaney and is librettist for Angels on the Underground, premiering at the Young Vic in 2025. A passionate advocate for neurodivergent voices, Gardner’s work blends history, fantasy, and magical realism, with outsider characters at their heart.
