Career

Gorman was raised in Pittsfield, Massachusetts,[13] and her background is financial rather than literary. She went back to school full-time in Chicago for her master's degree in Sociology.[13] In 1998 she moved to London where she worked as a market analyst for more than a decade.[13][14][15][16][17]

Her first book, Single in the City, was published by Penguin Books in June 2010. In 2014 she signed with Avon (publisher), an imprint of HarperCollins[18] and in 2017 she moved to HarperImpulse for the publication of her Lilly Bartlett pen-named books.[19] In 2020 she signed with Orion/Trapeze for the publication of The Staycation.[12] Today she is a full-time author living in London.[13][7]

In 2012, Gorman joined forces with fellow chick lit authors Talli Roland and Belinda Jones to found Notting Hill Press.[20][21]
