Sam Hay trained as a journalist in Edinburgh. She worked in newspapers and for BBC Television in London, before moving to Wales to have a baby and write her first children’s book. Since then she’s had more than 40 books published.

 

Sam writes for all ages from pre-school up…

 

Sam’s favourite story themes include: magic, ghosts and crazy animal adventures. She takes inspiration from her fantastic family.

 

Sam's usually to be found with one headphone in her ear (tuned to radio 4), a hot cup of tea in her hand and dozens of sharp pencils on her desk!
