VANESSA CRAFT is a lifestyle journalist and author. Her writing on fashion, music, beauty and travel has appeared in numerous publications including the Globe and Mail, The Sunday Times, ELLE Canada, Channel 4.com and FASHION magazine.  She now works as the Beauty Editor for More magazine.

Vanessa got her start in the biz via fashion journalism, working at the Sunday Times in London, England before moving into music and entertainment writing. This involved much industry hob-nobbing and interviewing music luminaries like Mary J Blige, Amy Winehouse and Alicia Keys. Interviews mainly consisted of Vanessa begging her subjects to let her join their band.

Pop culture is Vanessa’s first love, but alas, the pull to fashion, beauty and luxury travel soon wooed her back to the dark but well-dressed side, where she now resides quite happily surrounded by designer loveliness and beauty products that promise to anti her age.

The most important bit: Vanessa’s debut novel, Out of Character , is an unconventional, sexy and edgy coming-of-age story set in London’s upper class mansions and exclusive gentlemen’s clubs.  Click here to buy, and remember, every time a copy is sold a little tube of over-priced lipstick gets its wings.
