We are hugely excited to be hosting Lucy Fry, London-based freelance writer, journalist and speaker (www.lucyfry.co.uk) at The Feminist Bookshop on Tuesday 18th February.

She'll be reading from her new memoir Easier Ways to Say I Love You, our current 'Book of the Month', a remarkable and candid account of the complexities and joys of polyamory and (queer) family-making, published by Myriad Editions in February this year.

Her story explores the topics of love, lust and attachment. With intense and unflinching honesty, she takes her readers on a compelling journey from childhood trauma to addiction then sobriety, infidelity to polyamory and, perhaps most intensely of all, from her fear around being a parent to her exquisite joy at having a son.

Lucy has worked as a weekly columnist at The Sunday Telegraph newspaper, a monthly columnist at Easy Jet Magazine and travel editor for Diva Magazine. She has written articles for publications like The Guardian, Times, Telegraph, Mail on Sunday, Stylist, Psychologies and Women’s Health.

Her expertise includes physical, mental and emotional health, and addiction. She is also the author of ‘Run Ride Sink or Swim – a Rookie’s Year in Women’s Triathlon’, published by Faber & Faber and shortlisted for the New Writer prize at the Cross Sports Book Awards, 2016.
