Autorenporträt

Born in her grandparent's old miner's cottage overlooking the River Tyne, June Gadsby's life has been as interesting as any published saga. Leaving school at fifteen without qualifications of any kind, she pushed herself beyond the expectations of her family. Her teachers realised her talent as an artist, but were surprised when she announced, at the age of eight, that she intended to become an 'author'. More than once she heard the words of her strict, Victorian grandmother: "you'll never make it..." Her mother thought that June's writing was a 'nice, but unsociable little hobby'. But June refused to lose sight of her ambition. On leaving school she started work as an office junior, taught herself shorthand and typing and became a secretary, eventually attaining one of the highest posts as Administrative Assistant [Executive Medical Secretary] at Newcastle University's Medical School. It wasn't until she wrote about her years of rejection for a Writer's magazine that she was noticed by a literary agent.
