Victoria Jamieson grew up in Havertown, Pennsylvania, where she wrote and illustrated her first book in the third grade. SUPER COW! was a smash hit both with critics (her teacher) and collectors (her parents).

When she was twelve years old, her family moved to Florida. Her parents tried to get her and her two brothers excited about their move by buying them season passes to Disney World. She loved watching the animators at work on the Backstage Tour, and she decided she wanted to work for Disney when she grew up. 

She attended the Rhode Island School of Design, but soon found herself drawn back towards illustration instead of animation. After graduation and a slew of ill-fated careers (including a portrait artist on a Carnival Cruise ship and a conductor of illegal tours through the Vatican Museums), she began working as a book designer with HarperCollins Children's Books in New York. 

Many of her books are based on her real-life experiences. She played roller derby with the Rose City Rollers in Portland, Oregon- which is why she wrote ROLLER GIRL. She also worked at the Bay Area Renaissance Festival in Florida when she was in high school, which is the basis for ALL'S FAIRE IN MIDDLE SCHOOL. And lastly, her older brother had two pet hamsters when they were kids, named George and Martha Washington- hence, G.W. in THE GREAT PET ESCAPE.

She now lives in Pennsylvania with her family.
