Gale Galligan is a New York Times-bestselling cartoonist and shrimp chip enthusiast who lives in Rockland County, New York. They are the creator of four Baby-Sitters Club graphic novel adaptations (books five through eight!) – and you can spot them in The Claudia Kishi Club, a wonderful short documentary on Netflix! Gale has also written for IDW’s Sonic the Hedgehog and contributed to the Marvel Super Stories anthology.
Gale holds an MFA in Sequential Art from the Savannah College of Art and Design. When they aren’t making comics, Gale enjoys knitting, drumming, and spending time with their zoo: Artemis the cat, rabbits Dipper and Penny, Patrick the husband, and Robin the child. Gale is a founding member of the Comics Advocacy Group, a 501(c)3 nonprofit which is dedicated to making careers in comics more accessible and sustainable.
We're excited to welcome Gale to the 2024 Children's Festival of Reading!
