Jade Beer is an award-winning novelist and journalist known for her glamorous, women-centric fiction. Her works include "The Palace Dressmaker" (published as "The Memory Dress" in the US), which explores the mystery surrounding a missing Princess Diana gown, and "The Last Dress From Paris," inspired by Christian Dior's fashion legacy. Both novels blend historical fashion elements with compelling narratives about women's lives.
With a background spanning over two decades in journalism, Beer served as editor of Condé Nast Brides, where she gained firsthand insight into women's experiences during pivotal life moments. Her novels often examine the dichotomy between public personas and private realities, drawing from her observations of high-profile fashion environments and intimate personal stories. This thematic focus reflects her career working alongside editors at Vogue, Tatler, and Glamour while maintaining a fascination with women's authentic struggles and triumphs.
Beer resides in England's Cotswolds region with her family, having previously lived in London during her magazine career. Her transition from journalism to fiction writing allows her to explore women's stories through both glamorous settings and deeply personal narratives, creating what she describes as a "powerful cocktail of glamour and reality" in her work.
