Lauren Bravo | Exclusive Excerpt: THE SECOND CHANCE STORE
July 5, 2023
THE SECOND CHANCE STORE: Pg # 17-20   To  Read More...

I’m an author and award-winning journalist, writing about fashion, food, pop culture, travel, feminism and life, for people like Sunday Times Style, Grazia, Refinery29 UK, Cosmopolitan, Stylist, easyJet Traveller, Foodism, Delicious, The Telegraph and The Guardian.

My debut novel Preloved was published by Simon & Schuster in April 2023, and (as The Second Chance Store) in the US by William Morrow on July 4th 2023. My first book, What Would The Spice Girls Do? was published by Transworld in 2018, followed by How To Break Up With Fast Fashion, published by Headline in 2020. In 2021 I also contributed to This Is How We Come Back Stronger: Feminist Writers On Turning Crisis Into Change. I pop up semi-regularly on podcasts and radio, and very occasionally on the telly.

I've also worked extensively as a commercial copywriter, for the likes of Sainsbury's, River Cottage, The Flour Station, British Gas, Betty.me, RED Valentino, BBC, Channel 4, BLOWOUT Ibiza, O2 Magazine and Tesco, on web copy, social media content and digital strategy.

From the age of 14 I was a weekly columnist for The Worthing Herald, which they were kind/daft enough to let me carry on doing for 11 years. For nostalgia’s sake you can find lots of those columns archived here too.
