Susan Juby

On February 22, 2020, Juby read excerpts from two as-yet-unpublished works at the Vancouver Island Regional Library's Nanaimo Harbourfront branch. At Your Service is Juby's first crime novel for adults. Me 3 is a middle-grade novel that addresses the #MeToo movement from a child's perspective.

In 2016, she won the Stephen Leacock Award for her novel Republic of Dirt.

She then completed a master's program in publishing at Simon Fraser University in 2001. After that publication she got noticed by HarperCollins which in turn offered her a contract for three books. Her second book Miss Smithers was published in 2004. To complete the trilogy of Alice, I Think all under one publisher, the original book was bought by HarperCollins and at the beginning of the book was changed before being published again. Her third book under this contact was Alice McLeod: Realist at Last, published in 2005.

Juby is most known for her first series that started with Alice, I Think (2000), which was adapted into the television series Alice, I Think by The Comedy Network.

She began her first book as a journal which she wrote on the bus on the way to work and at a local coffee shop. After struggling to find a publisher the young adult publisher Thistledown published her first book Alice, I Think in 2000.
