Gita Ralleigh is a writer, poet and doctor born to Indian immigrant parents in London. She grew up reading fantasy adventures that took her to faraway lands – the closest she came was on family holidays to India, where old palaces, ice-capped mountains, monkeys and elephants were part of everyday life. After a career as a medical doctor, she studied for an MA in Creative Writing and has published short stories, winning the Wasafiri prize for fiction in 2013, as well as two poetry books. 'The Destiny of Minou Moonshine', her debut children's novel was published in 2023 by Zephyr/Bloomsbury and 'The Voyage of Sam Singh' came out in July 2024 from the same publisher. She lives in London with her two children and teaches creative writing to undergraduates at Imperial College.
