Helen Fielding is an English novelist of chick lit novels. She writes the Bridget Jones series. Originally from Yorkshire, Helen worked as a journalist in London for years, travelling to Africa, India and Central America whenever possible. After her first novel, she was asked by The Independent to start writing a column about the life of a 30-something single woman in London, but instead had the idea to create a character that was more of an exaggeration – that character became Bridget Jones.

Helen Fielding became a published novelist in 1994 with Cause Celeb. Below is a list of Helen Fielding’s books in order of when they were originally published:
