Liza Palmer is the internationally bestselling author
of Conversations with the Fat Girl which Booklist says, "…manages to infuse
a message of self--acceptance that isn't heavy-handed or cloying. This quick-witted
author is sure to develop a following." Conversations with the Fat Girl
became an international bestseller its first week in publication, being named
a Target Breakout book, as well as hitting Number 1 on the Fiction Heatseekers
List in the UK the week before the book debuted. Conversations with the Fat
Girl has been optioned for series by HBO by the producers of Rome, Band of
Brothers and Generation Kill. Palmer's second novel is Seeing Me Naked,
which Publisher's Weekly says, "consider it haute chick lit; Palmer's prose
is sharp, her characters are solid and her narrative is laced with moments of
graceful sentiment." Palmer's third novel, A Field Guide to Burying Your
Parents, which Entertainment Weekly calls a "splendid novel" and
Real Simple says "has heart and humor" was released in January 2010.
Garnering praise and critical acclaim, A Field Guide to Burying Your Parents
was also named by Los Angeles Magazine as a book to watch in 2010.
Palmer currently lives in Los Angeles and after working on the first season of Pop-Up Video is back to work on her next novel. She now knows far too much about Fergie.
