Joanna Traynor is the author of Sister Josephine, Divine and Bitch Money, all published by Bloomsbury, and an educational television producer/writer.

Joanna was born in London but raised in foster care in Chester. She is of mixed race - her mother was a daughter of Irish immigrants and her father Nigerian.

Her first novel, Sister Josephine, won the SAGA Prize in 1996. Joanna described the novel as: "..a semi-autobiographical account of a foster child on a white northern working class council estate and her experience of hospital life as a nurse in Liverpool. I used my own childhood as a canvas and painted things on it." Joanna is passionate about writing, communications, technology and relationship counselling.
