Megan Lloyd-Davies
Biography
Formerly a news reporter at The Daily Mirror, Megan Lloyd Davies is now a contributing editor on Grazia magazine and a best-selling co-writer whose books have been translated into ten languages.
Megan co-wrote Against All Odds: The Angela Cannings Story (Little, Brown) and My Life Behaving Badly (Orion), the autobiography of actress Leslie Ash. Her other work includes War Child (Little, Brown UK & St Martin's Press USA) the story of internationally-acclaimed rap star Emmanuel Jal's experiences as a child soldier in Sudan. Described as 'An astonishing narrative of human physical endurace' by the Evening Standard and praised by the Washington Times for its 'mesmerising and terrifying' prose, the Washington Post declared 'You'll come away from this book loving Emmanuel Jal' and selected War Child as one of its books of 2009.
Megan has also co-written two best-selling memoirs about women survivors of abuse: Mummy Come Home (HarperCollins), Oxana Kalemi's story of being forced into prostitution and sex trafficked across Europe, and Daddy's Prisoner (Simon & Schuster), Alice Lawrence's account of bringing her childhood abuser to justice.
Following the publication of Hannah's Choice (HarperCollins) - the uplifting and inspirational story of teenager Hannah Jones, who made worldwide headlines when she refused a heart transplant - Megan is now working on A Friend Like Ben (HarperCollins) about the extraordinary bond between a little boy with autism and his cat. Later this year she will complete Ghost Boy (Simon & Schuster), the unique memoir of Martin Pistorius who spent sixteen years trapped inside his body assumed uncommunicative following a mystery neurological illness until he learned to communicate again, start living and find love.
