Fiona Gibson's headshot

I started working on Jackie Magazine when I was 17 and went on to edit Just Seventeen, Bliss and More! magazines. For the past 16 years I have written bestselling romantic comedy novels (14 published). I am currently published by Avon (HarperCollins) and also write under the name of Ellen Berry.

As my work is so solitary, I love participating in all kinds of bookish events. An empty nester these days - we have 3 grown-up children - I live in Glasgow with my husband Jimmy and our rescue collie cross, Jack.
