About the Author

Josie Layton is a Melbourne girl who loves writing funny stories that sneak a little moral in. Trained as a beauty therapist but unable to paint nails to save herself, Josie would instead call herself an “inner beauty” therapist, whose sole purpose is to write stories that change the conversation about true beauty and healthy body image. Now training as a counsellor, she hopes to help people re-write their own personal stories too.
