Lynne Truss

Lynne Truss began her career as a literary editor before her path veered into other kinds of writing. She has published three novels and written many radio comedy dramas, and she spent six years reviewing television for The Times of London, then an unusual four-year stint as that paper's sports columnist. Her work for Women's Journal earned her a Columnist of the Year award. She also presented Cutting a Dash, a well-liked BBC Radio 4 program devoted to punctuation. These days she contributes book reviews to the Sunday Times of London, remains a recognizable presence on BBC Radio 4, and makes her home in Brighton, England.
