Holly Bourne

Holly Bourne is a British bestselling author of young adult fiction. Inspired by her work with young people and her experiences of everyday sexism, Holly is a passionate mental health advocate and proud feminist.

Holly Bourne has a first-class degree in Journalism Studies from the University of Sheffield. She started her writing career as a local news reporter for the Surrey Mirror and was nominated as Print Journalist of the Year in 2010.

Bourne also was a journalist for www.TheSite.org, an advice and information website for 16–25-year-olds. She then spent six years as an editor, a relationship advisor, and a general ‘agony aunt’ for a youth charity — helping young people with their relationships and mental health.

Inspired by what she saw, Holly started writing teen fiction. Her debut novel, Soulmates, came out in 2013.

Holly Bourne authored the bestselling novel Am I Normal Yet? (2015), the first book in the award-winning Spinster Club series, which helps educate teenagers about feminism.

Her first adult novel, How Do You Like Me Now? (2017), examines the intensified pressures on women once they hit that landmark. The screen rights to How Do You Like Me Now? were optioned by production company Ecosse Films.

Bourne's 2018 young adult novel Are We All Lemmings and Snowflakes? has been optioned for television by Duck Soup Films.

Alongside her writing, Holly has a keen interest in women’s rights and is an advocate for reducing the stigma of mental health problems.

She has helped create online apps that teach young people about sexual consent, works with Women’s Aid to spread awareness of abusive relationships, and runs Rethink’s mental health book club.

Holly Bourne lives in London.

“Be careful, Jessie,” I said. “All I can say is, if he did it to Mum, he can do it to you. The years are long. See how much he loves you in ten years’ time, see if he gives you everything he’s promised.”
