ABOUT THE AUTHOR Sarah Schmidt

As a child growing up in Nowra, NSW, and the Western Port area of Victoria, Sarah Schmidt dreamed of becoming a writer and, in See What

I Have Done, the 37-year-old mother and librarian has realised that dream with her debut novel.

“It took around 11 years to write this book,” she says. “I was never able to physically work on it full-time, but I thought about the book all the time and wrote in the early mornings, nights and weekends.”
