Jane Green (born May 31, 1968), is an Internationally bestselling author, and one of the world's leading authors in commercial women's fiction, with millions of books in print and translations in over twenty five languages. Together with Helen Fielding she is considered a founder of the genre known as chick lit. [1][2]
Green was born in London, England. She worked as a journalist throughout her twenties, writing women's features for The Daily Express, The Daily Mail, Cosmopolitan and others. At 27, she published her first book, Straight Talking, which went straight on to the bestseller lists, and launched her career as "the queen of chick lit". Over the years, she has moved away from the genre she was first known for, to write warm, wise, emotive dramas that reflect the lives of real women and all they are going through.
Frequent themes in her most recent books include cooking, class wars, children, infidelity, and female friendship. She says she does not write about her life, but is inspired by the themes of her life.
Her best-known novels include 'Jemima J', 'The Beach House', and 'Second Chance', all New York Times bestsellers.
In addition to novels, she has taught at writers conferences, and writes for various publications including The Sunday Times, Parade magazine, and The Huffington Post.
She has over ten million books in print, and bestsellers all over the world, including sixteen New York Times Bestsellers. A graduate of the French Culinary Institute, she has published a cookbook: Good Taste, has a weekly column for The Lady magazine in the UK, and in 2015 contributed a story for The Moth Radio Hour.
A Cancer survivor, she continues to raise awareness for Malignant Melanoma, Hashimoto's Disease, and Chronic Lyme Disease.

Green is divorced and remarried and lives in Connecticut with her husband, Ian Warburg,[citation needed] their five children, and a variety of animals.
