Revision as of 17:23, 20 October 2024
British writer
Coco Mellors (born 1989) is a British writer known for her work in fiction and various writing roles, including copywriting, journalism, and scriptwriting. She was raised in London and moved to New York City at the age of 14 with her family. Her father is an advertising executive, and her mother is a therapist. She is the youngest of four siblings.
Life and Education
Mellors earned a Master of Fine Arts (MFA) in fiction from New York University (NYU). During her studies, she interned at W Magazine in 2009. In 2020, she relocated to Los Angeles, where she currently lives with her husband, a British brand strategist. Mellors has openly discussed her struggles with alcoholism during her teenage and early adult years in New York, achieving sobriety while writing her debut novel, Cleopatra and Frankenstein, which she completed at the age of 26. She also quit smoking during this period.
At 28, Mellors left her New York City apartment and moved to her parents’ vacant apartment in London to focus on finishing her first book. She had been working on the novel for three years while dealing with an unrequited and toxic relationship with a neighbor. During her time in London, Mellors attended Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) meetings, addressing her vulnerabilities and personal issues.
In addition to her novels, she co-wrote the short film Every Kind of Way for the artist H.E.R., directed by Frank Sean. Mellors also wrote and appeared in a J Crew short episode of Style Hacks and co-starred in a short episode for the J Crew holiday collection in 2019.
