Biography

Dolly Alderton is a journalist, writer, and former dating columnist for the Sunday Times Style. She is the co-host of the pop-culture podcast The High Low and is the Sunday Times bestselling author of Everything I Know About Love, and the novel Ghosts.

Her career has also expanded into television, writing scripts for E4’s Fresh Meat and working as a producer for Channel 4’s Made In Chelsea and Summer Daze.

To mark the publication of Everything I Know About Love, Dolly created and hosted a podcast mini-series called Love Stories, in which she talked to guests including Vanessa Kirby, Stanley Tucci, Lilly Allen, and Sharon Horgan about their most defining relationships.

The book has also been adapted into a TV show for the BBC and Peacock, and was described as a "generous, funny, warm-hearted and uplifting Sex & The City for millennials which covers bad dates and squalid flat-shares, heartaches and humiliations, and, most importantly, unbreakable female friendships".
