About Lucy-Anne Holmes

Lucy-Anne Holmes was a British writer, actor and activist.

Lucy-Anne Holmes is a British author, actress and campaigner.

She lives in Hertfordshire with her partner and son. She grew up a Catholic and is now a Quaker.

Holmes has authored several books: 50 Ways to Find a Lover (Pan, 2009); The (Im)Perfect Girlfriend (Pan, 2010); Unlike A Virgin (Sphere, 2011); Just a Girl Standing in Front of a Boy (Sphere, 2014), winner of the Romantic Novelists Association 'Rom Com of the Year 2015'; How To Start A Revolution (Transworld Digital, 2015) – described a how-to for making change happen, and the history of the No More Page 3 campaign; and Don't Hold My Head Down (Unbound, 2019) – a memoir about sex.
