Jennie Godfrey
Jennie Godfrey was raised in West Yorkshire in a mill-working family and her Sunday Times #1 bestselling debut novel, The List of Suspicious Things, was inspired by her childhood there in the 1970s. In 2020, Jennie gave up her corporate career to build a life around books. She is now a writer and part-time bookseller who lives, and writes, in the Somerset countryside. Her second novel The Barbecue at No.9 is due to be published February 2026. Jennie studied on several of our online courses including our our three-month Writing Your Novel course. Photo by Esme-Mai.
