Jacqueline Cook

Jacqueline Cook was born in Sydney, Australia, the middle of three children. She wrote poetry and short stories from the age of eight, and read books voraciously. Intrigued as to how a script was transformed to the big screen, she took a short course in screen writing and fell in love with the process of movie storytelling. She's been scribing madly ever since with a particular fondness for drama. She is also the published author of The Real Great Escape, which tells the story of the daring tunnel escape by Allied officers from Germany's Holzminden POW camp during WWI (Random House Australia, 2013).
