ⓘ About Carmen Reid
Carmen once did study English Literature at University College London, however (ignoring that everything she had learned) she spent much of her 20s working as a local, regional, and then national newspaper reporter. Knowing that deep down that she was supposed to be an author and not a journo, she left her day job in order to have a baby and write her first novel. And just four penniless, sleepless years later it got published. She typically writes about women that have jobs, families, and busy lives, sprinkled with the adventure of taking a trip abroad, a new opportunity, or some big event to get the drama flowing. Reading one of her novels should feel like hanging out with your best friend. You will hear all about her daily struggles, her dreams, comedy disasters and disappointments. Rising to prominence with the Publication Order of Annie Valentine Books series, Carmen Reid has since expanded their repertoire to include numerous successful works across various genres. Their writing style, characterized by compelling narratives and memorable characters, has earned them a dedicated global readership with millions of fans worldwide.
