Biography

Brought up near Harrogate, schooled in Cleckheaton and educated at Girton College, Cambridge, Holden's first job after university was on the arts magazine "Apollo", after which she edited a magazine for foreign diplomats in London for several years. In 1992, she moved to "Harper's Bazaar", where she worked for three years before going to the "Sunday Telegraph Magazine", and then, in 1995, "The Sunday Times" Style section. In 1997, she became deputy editor of "Tatler", and later moved to the "Mail on Sunday"’s You magazine, which she left in 2000 to concentrate on writing. Holden is married, has two children, and lives in Derbyshire and London.
