Liz Fraser

After studying experimental psychology at Clare College, Cambridge, Liz started her career in television, making and presenting science programmes. She then moved on to present for BBC1’s Holiday and the Channel 4 science series The Virtual Body, before deciding to take a break and raise her three young children.

Somewhat bored at home and realising there was a gaping hole in the parenting market for a funny, honest book about motherhood, she wrote The Yummy Mummy’s Survival Guide in 2006. It was an instant Sunday Times bestseller, now selling internationally. This was followed by two further bestselling, humorous books about raising children the non-cotton wool, common sense way.

She is currently writing her fourth book about the Mummification of women, based on her own experience of the Middle Years of parenting.

Liz writes regularly for many publications including Red, SHE, Grazia and FeMail. She appears frequently on television and radio as a parenting expert for BBC Breakfast, ITV1’s Daybreak, This Morning, BBC Radio 5 Live, BBC Radio London and many others.

She lives in Cambridge with her children, now aged 7, 11 and 13, and her husband.
