Paula Knight is an author, illustrator, and comics creator. She has illustrated numerous books for children and authored three children's picture books. She's been a professional freelance illustrator since 1992.

Her first graphic memoir, The Facts of Life, aimed at adults, is published by Myriad Editions (UK) and Penn State University Press (North America). The memoir discusses the pressures on women to have children and explores what happens when life doesn't go as planned. An extract from it was shortlisted in Myriad's inaugural First Graphic Novel Competition in 2012, with judges including Ian Rankin, Bryan Talbot, Hannah Berry, and Steve Bell.

Described as "intensely moving… honest and personal," it is a story told in pictures with sparse words about fertility, loss, and growth.
