Sam Baker (born July 1966) was the editor in chief of ''Cosmopolitan'' in the UK until December 2006. She is now editor of ''Red'', owned by Hachette, and a sister magazine to ''Elle''. Baker was born in Hampshire, and studied politics at Birmingham University. She went on to work as a writer and editor for numerous British women's magazines, including ''Red'', ''New Woman'', ''Chat'', and ''Take a Break''. After re-launching teenage magazine ''Just Seventeen'' as ''J-17'', she spent five years as editor of UK women's magazine ''Company'', before resigning to write her first novel, ''Fashion Victim'' (described by Time magazine as one of the five break-through first novels of the summer of 2005). Her second novel, ''This Year's Model'', was published by Random House in the US, and Orion in the UK. Her third novel ''The Stepmothers Support Group'' was published by HarperCollins in 2009 (''The Other Mothers Club'' / Avon / 2010 in the US). Her fourth novel, ''To My Best Friends'', was published by Harper in May 2011. Baker also broadcasts on young women's issues. Sam lives in Winchester, Hampshire and central London with her partner, the novelist Jon Courtenay Grimwood. Baker has stated her life philosophy as follows: "If someone says you can't, prove them wrong. Fight your own battles and admit your mistakes."〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Sam Baker ) (quotation no longer found, October 2012)〕 ==Works== * * * * 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Sam Baker (writer)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
