About the Author

David Alan Nicholls (born 30 November 1966) is an English novelist and screenwriter. Nicholls is the middle of three siblings. He attended Barton Peveril sixth-form college at Eastleigh, Hampshire, from 1983 to 1985 (taking A-levels in Drama and Theatre Studies along with English, Physics and Biology), and playing a wide range of roles in college drama productions. Colin Firth was at the same College and they later collaborated in And When Did You Last See Your Father?. He went to Bristol University in the 1980s (graduating with a BA in Drama and English in 1988) before training as an actor at the American Musical and Dramatic Academy in New York.

Throughout his 20s, he worked as a professional actor using the stage name David Holdaway. He played small roles at various theatres, including the West Yorkshire Playhouse and, for a three-year period, at the Royal National Theatre. He struggled as an actor and has said "I d committed myself to a profession for which I lacked not just talent and charisma, but the most basic of skills. Moving, standing still - things like that."

Since then, David has turned to writing full-time, and is the author of four novels. One Day was an international bestseller and the follow-up, Us , was long listed for the Man Booker Prize. He s also a screenwriter and TV dramatist; his credits include adaptations of Far From The Madding Crowd , Great Expectations , Tess of the D Urbervilles and feature film version of his own novels. One Day and Starter for Ten .
