Roz Bailey

Roz Bailey’s publishing career began when she left a
lucrative job in the insurance industry to work as an
editorial assistant at Simon & Schuster. While there she
worked her way up to senior editor, then worked at two
other publishing houses before she became a full-time
freelancer. Roz has written more than fifty books for women
and young adult readers published under various pseudonyms.
She has dabbled in writing for TV and film. Working as an
associate producer, she developed two of the children’s
books she edited into TV movies that aired on Showtime.

Roz’s first “chicklit” novel, PARTY GIRLS, was published by
Kensington Books in 2002 and received favorable reviews.
The following summer GIRLS’ NIGHT OUT combined the reality
show fervor with girlfriend humor. Roz’s third novel,
RETAIL THERAPY, follows two shopaholics on their adventures
in shopping through the jumbled jungle of sales.

Roz loves theater, laughter, the color purple, walking on
the beach, and dark chocolate with nuts. (Not necessarily
in that order.) She attended Wagner College in Staten
Island, NY, where she often returns for Homecoming games
and tailgate parties. Roz had resided on both coasts and
currently divides her time between Portland, Oregon and New
York City. She loves visiting friends and family in
Detroit, Baltimore, Bethany Beach, Washington D.C.,
Richmond, San Francisco and Los Angeles.
