E L James is an incurable romantic and a self-confessed fangirl.
After twenty-five years of working in television, she decided to
pursue a childhood dream and write stories that readers could take
to their hearts. The result was the controversial and sensuous
romance Fifty Shades of Grey and its two sequels, Fifty Shades
Darker and Fifty Shades Freed. In 2015, she published the #1
bestseller Grey, the story of Fifty Shades of Grey from the
perspective of Christian Grey, and in 2017, the chart-topping
Darker, the second part of the Fifty Shades story from Christian’s
point of view. She followed with the #1 New York Times bestseller,
The Mister in 2019. Her books have been published in fifty
languages and have sold more than 165 million copies worldwide.
E L James has been recognized as one of Time magazine’s "Most
Influential People in the World" and Publishers Weekly’s "Person of
the Year." Fifty Shades of Grey stayed on the New York Times
bestseller list for 133 consecutive weeks. Fifty Shades Freed won
the Goodreads Choice Award (2012), and Fifty Shades of Grey was
selected as one of the 100 Great Reads, as voted by readers, in
PBS’s The Great American Read (2018). Darker was long-listed for
the 2019 International DUBLIN Literary Award.
She was a producer on each of the three Fifty Shades movies, which
made more than a billion dollars at the box office. The third
installment, Fifty Shades Freed, won the People’s Choice Award for
Drama in 2018. E L James is blessed with two wonderful sons and
lives with her husband, the novelist and screenwriter Niall
Leonard, and their West Highland terriers in the leafy suburbs of
West London.
