Jacqueline Wilson was born in Bath in 1945 but spent most of her childhood in Kingston-on-Thames where she still lives. She always wanted to be a writer and wrote her first "novel" when she was nine, filling countless Woolworth's' exercise books as she grew up. She started work at a publisher and then went on to work as a journalist for D.C. Thomson in Scotland where she helped found JACKIE magazine.
Over 10 million copies of Jacqueline's books have been sold in the UK alone. In a recent poll to find the Nation's Favourite Children's Book run by the BBC programme, Bookworm, Double Act was voted 10th and was the only contemporary title in the top ten. Jacqueline herself was voted 4th in the Treasure Islands Favourite Children's Author poll.
