Bianca Gillam is an Assistant Editor whose highest honour to date is being called a ‘wretched romantic’ by a university lecturer at university. She is an avid writer of poetry, which has been published in a variety of publications, and due to a lifelong interest in asking people how they met their partner has amassed an impressive collection of ‘meet-cutes’. She was inspired by the brilliant books she’s published to write her own.
Her debut novel, Bad Publicity, was bought by Bloomsbury General in a significant pre-empt, and will be published Spring 2025.

Bad Publicity is a classic enemies-to-lovers romance. It tells the story of Andie who has just landed her dream job as a Senior Publicist in a publishing house in New York. On her first day she is told she’ll be going on a month-long tour with the company’s biggest author Jack Carlson, known better to Andie as the man who broke her heart at University. One month in Europe with a man she definitely doesn’t still have feelings for… what could possibly go wrong?
