Marylou Grimberg lived in Singapore for 17 years, where she was introduced to the world of publishing, and was also persuaded to write a book on the games of Asia. On returning to the UK, once her five children were more or less self-sufficient, she went back to school and obtained a PhD in Linguistics from UCL. She lectured for a while at the University of Hertfordshire, but on retiring went back into the publishing world, working in a voluntary capacity with the editorial teams of various Jewish organisations.
