Polly Courtney is best known for writing Golden Handcuffs (Matador), a semi-autobiographical exposé on life in the City. Her other titles include Poles Apart (Matador), and The Fame Factor (Avon), a tale loosely based on her experiences in an all-girl string quartet. In 2011, she famously walked out on her publisher, HarperCollins, for the ‘girly’ titles and covers assigned to her books.
