Georgia Kaufmann was born and grew up in North London. She studied Social Anthropology and Demography at Cambridge, LSE and Oxford. For most of her twenties and early thirties, she managed to live elsewhere, with a preference for places beginning with B: Brussels, Belo Horizonte, Brighton and Boston, amongst others. 

Eventually she returned to London, exchanging her career as a demographic anthropologist to bring up her children and write. 

The Dressmaker of Paris was published by Hodder in Spring 2021, an earlier draft titled Mirror, Mirror was longlisted for the 2016 Bridport First Novel Prize. In December 2018 Mulberry Publishing brought out A Hard Fall, a political thriller set in a post-Brexit UK.

She lives within cycling distance of central London with her husband, their cat, and a washing machine to lure back her grown daughters.
