Michelle Magorian's first ambition was to be an actress and after three years study at the Bruford College of Speech and Drama, she went to mime school in Paris. All this time she had been secretly scribbling stories and in her mid-twenties she became interested in children's books, and decided to write one herself. The result was Goodnight Mister Tom, a winner of the Guardian Award and the International Reading Association Award, which she has also adapted as a musical. There is also a DVD. Since then she has published four more novels, two collections of poetry, a collection of short stories and two picture books.
Michelle now lives in Petersfield where she continues with both her acting and writing careers.
