About Ruth Ware
Internationally bestselling author Ruth Ware is a British writer whose books have sold over 9 million copies. As of 2024, her works have been translated into over 40 languages.
Before becoming a full-time author, she held a variety of jobs, from waitressing to bookselling but always dreamed of being an author. An internship at a publishing company helped her understand the industy, while giving her a bit of stage fright. Finding time for writing got even harder when she got married and became a mom. She quickly realized if she wanted to follow this dream, she had to push past her fear of rejection and send her work out to agents.
We’re so grateful she pursued her dreams and has published so many entertaining novels!
