Gail Vida Hamburg is an award-winning American journalist and author born in 1960s post-colonial Malaysia. She spent her early years in Hertfordshire and London in the UK, where she attended school and college before working in London legal rights agencies advocating migrant, human, and civil rights. She moved to the United States in her twenties, first to New York and then to Chicago, where she developed a career in mass communications, journalism, media relations, and academia. Hamburg's first novel, "The Edge of the World," (Mirare Press, 2007) about the impact of American foreign policy on individual lives -- inspired by Graham Greene's "The Quiet American" -- was released by Mirare Press, Boston in 2007. The novel was featured in Bertrand Russell's "The Spokesman," at the Graham Greene Festival, and nominated for the James Fenimore Cooper Prize. It is a text in many university post-colonial studies, war studies, and creative writing programs around the world. Her second book, "Liberty Landing," (Mirare Press, 2018), a novel about the American Experience, was a 2016 finalist for the PEN/Bellwether Prize for Socially Engaged Fiction. Inspired by John Dos Passos’ U.S.A.Trilogy about early 20th century Americans, Liberty Landing narrates the American Experience of the 21st century through a polycultural cast of native born, refugee, and immigrant Americans, who each transform and are transformed by America. The first in a trilogy, Liberty Landing is Gail Vida Hamburg's love letter to the American Experiment. She studied mass communications at North East London Polytechnic, UK and holds a Master of Fine Arts in Literature and Creative Writing from Bennington Writing Seminars at Bennington College, Vermont, USA.
