Jill Mansell is a successful British author, well-known for her chick lit novels. She was born and raised in the Cotswolds, where she attended Sir William Romney’s School in Tetbury. Before turning to writing full-time in 1992, Mansell worked for many years at a neurological hospital in Bristol. Now, she lives in Bristol with her partner and children.
Mansell has achieved significant success as an author, with her books selling over ten million copies worldwide. Her writing is primarily focused on the romantic comedy genre, and she has published numerous novels, including "Making your Mind up," "Fast Friends," "Good at Games," "Sheer Mischief," and "Solo." Despite her success, Mansell remains humble and down-to-earth, attributing her motivation to write to her love for her readers.
Mansell is known as "the queen of witty, heart-warming, feel-good love stories," and her books have been bringing joy to readers for over twenty-five years. She started writing fiction while working in the NHS, after joining a local creative writing class. Mansell has since written over twenty Sunday Times bestsellers, and her books have sold over 11 million copies around the world. In her free time, Mansell enjoys people-watching, finding new characters to put in her novels, and buying stationery, particularly magical new colors of ink for the fountain pen she uses to write all her books. She also keeps in touch with her readers on Twitter and Facebook.
