Holly Jackson

With over 10 million copies sold worldwide and translations in more than 45 languages, Holly Jackson is a superstar of crime fiction.

Often described as the “Taylor Swift of books”, Holly has cultivated a fiercely loyal, highly engaged global fanbase, with readers eagerly hunting for the Easter eggs she hides in her online content.

Holly’s phenomenally successful A Good Girl’s Guide to Murder series has spent over three years on the New York Times bestseller list, won multiple Book of the Year awards (including Waterstones and The Observer), and was named by Forbes as “one of the top ten greatest YA novels of all time.”

The series is now a major BBC and Netflix production, currently filming its second season, with Holly herself writing the screenplay and bringing her signature voice directly to screen.

Her follow-up novels, Five Survive and The Reappearance of Rachel Price, were both #1 international bestsellers, cementing her as one of the most influential voices in modern YA fiction.

In July 2025, she makes her adult fiction debut with Not Quite Dead Yet, one of the most anticipated thrillers of the year.

Holly holds a first-class degree and a master’s in English from the University of Nottingham, and lives in London, where she spends her downtime binge-playing video games and correcting rogue punctuation in public signage.
