Celia Walden

Literary Agent: Eugenie Furniss

Known for her wide-ranging articles, opinions and commentaries on everything from current affairs to health, fashion and motoring, Daily Telegraph columnist Celia Walden has written for GQ, The Spectator, Glamour, Standpoint, Elle, Russian Vogue, Harper's Bazaar, Red Magazine, Net-a-Porter’s The Edit, Grazia and Stylist.

Her first book, Harm’s Way – described by the Observer as a “gripping debut” and Grazia as “a subtle, sensual, absorbing tale” – was published in 2008 and translated into four languages, and her second book, Babysitting George, was BBC Radio 4’s Book of the Week and nominated for the William Hill 2011 Sports Book of the Year prize. In September 2022, she published her first thriller with Little, Brown, Payday, which was an Amazon bestseller and selected for the Richard and Judy Book Club. Her second thriller, The Square, also published by Little, Brown, is out now.

In June 2025 Universal International Studios and Working Title won the rights to Walden's forthcoming novel, Little Hands, in a 10-way bidding war that played out in London and Los Angeles. Walden will exec produce the series alongside 42’s Peter Dealbert, Josh Varney and Ben Pugh.

Born and raised in Paris, Cambridge-educated Celia now divides her time between London and LA.
