Susan Juby was born in Pinocha, Alberta, and has survived several small towns. She grew up in Smithers, BC, and lived briefly in Salmon Arm, BC, which she says taught her "to be grateful for the trials of life in Smithers." After university, Susan landed an internship at Vancouver's Hartley & Marks Publishers, where she is now Managing Editor. Susan has written Alice, I Think for "anyone who grew up in a small town, anyone who was ever embarrassed by their parents, ever committed a fashion crime, ever had trouble fitting in, anyone who likes to laugh."
