About S J Watson
"I am delighted that readers in the area will have the opportunity to read my book through the Birmingham Big City Read. It's very exciting to be involved in what feels like a very big reading group discussion."
S J Watson was born and grew up in Stourbridge, in the West Midlands. After graduating with a degree in Physics from Birmingham University Watson moved to London and began working with the hearing impaired in various London hospitals. In 2009 Watson was accepted into the first Faber Academy 'Writing a Novel' course. Before I Go to Sleep is the result. It has received widespread accolades from fellow writers, is an international bestseller and earlier this year won the Crime Writer's Association Debut Dagger Award and The Crime Thriller of the Year award at the Galaxy British Book Awards. Before I Go to Sleep has also been acquired for film by Ridley Scott's production company, Scott Free, with Rowan Joffe to direct.
