Autorenportrait

<b>Gaby Hinsliff</b>started her career in 1994 as a reporter on the Grimsby<i>Evening Telegraph</i>, and within a decade had worked her way up to being Political Editor of the<i>Observer.</i>In 2007, she took nine months off after the birth of her son before going back to her old full-time job, but two years later she finally decided she'd had enough of life getting lost in the rush. The piece she wrote about this in the<i>Observer</i>was a sensation and prompted both her blog Used To Be Somebody and this book. She now lives happily with her son and husband in Oxfordshire, working as a freelance political commentator and columnist for<i>Grazia</i>magazine.
