Elizabeth Day is an award-winning author, broadcaster and host of the chart-topping podcast How To Fail with Elizabeth Day which recently returned for its twentieth series, the first in partnership with Sony Music Entertainment.

Her podcast won the Rising Star Award at the British Podcast Awards and contributed to Elizabeth's Harper's Bazaar Women of the Year Award in 2020. How To Fail has since gone on a sell-out live tour across the country, including dates at The London Palladium, The National Theatre and the Southbank Centre in London, The Lowry in Salford and The Mac in Belfast.

Elizabeth has written two books off the back of the podcast: How To Fail: Everything I’ve Ever Learned From Things Going Wrong, is part-memoir, part-manifesto. It is also a Sunday Times top 5 bestseller. Failosophy: A Handbook For When Things Go Wrong was described by Alain de Botton as ‘beautiful, timely and humane.’

In 2022, she launched a second podcast with her best friend, the psychotherapist Emma Reed-Turrell, called Best Friend Therapy. The duo chat about everyday mental health challenges and therapeutic topics in an accessible and reassuring way.

To date, Elizabeth has written five novels which collectively have gained her a Betty Trask Award, Observer Book of the Year, and a Richard and Judy Summer Book Club pick. Her fifth novel, Magpie, became an instant Sunday Times bestseller and was described as ‘the most gripping psychological thriller of the year’. Her work has been translated into several languages and she is a bestselling author in Holland and Italy.
