Laura Jane Williams (she/her) is the author of fourteen books. Her romantic comedies for adults include Our Stop (Avon, 2019), The Lucky Escape (Avon, 2021) and Enemies to Lovers (Century, 2024), and her debut young teen novel Taylor Blake is a Legend (Bloomsbury, 2024) was described by Jacqueline Wilson as ‘a fresh, touching story’.

Laura started her writing career with non-fiction books like Ice Cream for Breakfast and The Life Diet, books about figuring out how to get out of our own way to live happier lives. She also wrote about her life in weekly columns for both Grazia and Red Magazine. For ten years she kept the hugely popular Superlatively Rude blog, and in August 2024 returned to the Internet with her Substack bestseller How to Build a Life.

Grazia magazine once said that Laura is a ‘general all-round-speaker of what-is-in-our-heads’. Stylist said her honesty and voice are unique. A one-time dating columnist, Marie Claire’s #BreakFree from Fear Ambassador, and called a ‘Happiness Expert’ by The Independent, the cornerstone of all her work – be it fiction or real life – is this: going all in on the adventure of your life.

Laura’s words have been featured everywhere from The Guardian to Glamour, Stylist to The Telegraph, The Metro, Buzzfeed, Red, Closer, Bella and The Daily Mail, as well as across the BBC and on Sky News. She has run online writing workshops with thousands of participants from all around the world, and live events with major corporates including Soho House, Pinterest, Benefit Cosmetics, and Stylist Live. On stage she has interviewed everyone from Dolly Alderton to Marian Keyes, Stacey Dooley to Holly Bourne. Laura is a single parent by choice, lifts very heavy weights, and is currently decorating her new house in the Peak District.
