Special Guest

Jane Green is the author of twenty one novels including eighteen New York Times bestsellers, and has over ten million books in print. She is also now “Dear Jane”, the hugely popular advice columnist for the UK national daily newspaper the Daily Mail, and one of the busiest news websites in the world. Three of her books have been made into movies for the Lifetime network: Tempting Fate, To Have and to Hold, and Family Pictures. Together with Helen Fielding of Bridget Jones’s Diary, she is known as one of the founders of a movement called “chick lit”, the literary equivalent of the “rom com”. Over the past twenty seven years she has moved on to write wise, warm, emotionally-resonant books about women navigating today’s complicated lives. A graduate of the International Culinary Center, Jane has written one cookbook: Good Taste. She is the Founder of Emerald Audio, a female-led podcast network producing original audio dramas for women, including Rainbow Girl, The Key of Love, and Bad Influencer, all available to stream for free wherever you listen to podcasts. She has taught writing at the popular Kauai Writer’s Conference, and has now started her own Women and Writing Conference in Morocco – Kitaba Marrakech. A native Londoner, she spent twenty three years raising her four children in Westport, Connecticut, before recently falling head over heels with Marrakech. Now based in Marrakech, she lives alone and spends every day desperately trying not to pick up every kitten that waits on her doorstep. They know a crazy cat lady when they see one.
