Holly Bourne is a British author known for her impactful works in young adult fiction. She was born on 6 May 1986. Over the years, she has carved a niche for herself in the literary world, particularly with her thought-provoking narratives that often explore themes of feminism and mental health.

Holly began her professional career as a news journalist and was notably nominated for Best Print Journalist of the Year. She then dedicated six years to working as an editor and relationship advisor for a youth charity, where she earned the title of a general 'agony aunt'—a role that involved supporting young individuals with relationship and mental health challenges. This experience significantly influenced her transition into writing teen fiction.

Her works include the best-selling, award-winning ‘Spinster Club’ series, which plays a crucial role in educating teenagers about feminism. In her thirties, Holly ventured into adult fiction with her novel 'How Do You Like Me Now?', which delves into the pressures women face upon reaching significant life milestones.

Beyond her novels, Holly Bourne is a staunch advocate for women's rights and actively works towards reducing the stigma surrounding mental health issues. She also contributes to The Mix, a charity-run advice platform for individuals under 25.
