Author bio

Jojo Moyes is a name that has become synonymous with emotional, page-turning fiction, but her path to becoming a global bestseller started in a busy newsroom rather than a quiet study. Born in London in 1969, she grew up with a natural love for storytelling. However, writing novels wasn't her first career. After studying at Royal Holloway and Bedford New College, she managed to win a bursary from The Independent newspaper.

This grant allowed her to attend City University to study journalism, a stepping stone that would define the next decade of her life.

For ten years, Moyes worked for The Independent. She covered a wide variety of beats, ranging from general news to arts and media. This background in journalism gave her a sharp eye for detail and the discipline to write every day, regardless of inspiration. It wasn't until 2002 that she took the leap into becoming a full-time novelist with the publication of her debut book, Sheltering Rain.

While Moyes is often found in the romance section of the bookstore, her work is known for being much more than typical love stories. She weaves together complex characters and difficult real-world subjects. Her books have tackled everything from deep class differences and disability to historical injustices. She handles these heavy topics with a distinct mix of humor and heartbreak.

She has been open about her process, admitting that she is a very emotional writer. She lives by a simple rule: if a scene doesn't make her cry while she is typing it, it probably won't make the reader cry either.

Her career hit a massive turning point with the release of Me Before You.

This novel didn't just sell well; it became a worldwide phenomenon, selling millions of copies and eventually being adapted into a major motion picture. The success of the book was so profound that Moyes decided to expand the story. It grew into a trilogy that followed the beloved protagonist, Louisa Clark, through several different stages of her life.

Beyond her contemporary hits, Moyes has also earned critical praise for her historical fiction. Titles like The Girl You Left Behind showcased her ability to span time periods. Later, she wrote The Giver of Stars, a story inspired by the real-life Pack Horse Librarians of Kentucky. This book highlighted her talent for finding fascinating, lesser-known slices of history and bringing them to life for modern readers.

Her talent hasn't gone unrecognized by her peers. She is one of the very few authors to have won the Romantic Novelists' Association's Romantic Novel of the Year Award twice. Her stories have been translated into over forty languages, connecting with readers in almost every corner of the globe.

Despite this international fame, Moyes keeps her life very grounded.

She currently lives in the English countryside in Essex with her husband, the journalist Charles Arthur, and their three children. Their home life is far from the glitz of movie premieres. They share their space with a chaotic menagerie of animals, including a pack of dogs and an ex-racehorse. It is a busy, sometimes messy, but ultimately comforting backdrop for a writer who specializes in capturing the messy, beautiful truth of human emotion.
