Writer and presenter

Liz FraserLiz Fraser is the best-selling author of three funny, honest parenting books and a parenting/family commentator on BBC Breakfast news, ITV1's Daybreak and This Morning, Sky News and many others, and a BBC Radio presenter.

A Cambridge science graduate and mother of three, she regularly contributes to many TV and radio programmes, writes features and columns for national media and is now writing her fourth book. She is also a key panel member for The Centre for The Modern Family, and authored its first report in 2011.

Here's a little round-up of what I'm working on now:

As well as all the TV stuff that's linked on the RIGHT ------>> I'm guest-presenting the Afternoon Show for BBC Radio Cambridgeshire (12-3pm week days) and I've got a parenting strand on BBC Radio Oxford's Drivetime show on Mondays.

Current writing:

I'm writing my 4th funny, non-fiction book and there is already some TV interest in it. Hurrah.

I'm still writing for FeMail, Grazia, SHE, Red, Woman, and anyone else who is kind enough to pay me for my words.

In my vast amounts of free time (?!) I'm developing two new TV series, one for smart, funny women, and the other about Family Life.
