Author profile

Megan Lloyd-Davies

Megan Lloyd-Davies is a British journalist, author, and ghostwriter whose work centres on collaborative nonfiction and life writing. Her official website describes an earlier career as a news reporter at the Daily Mirror and a contributing editor at Grazia, before her transition to book-length collaborations.

Her catalogue includes War Child, the memoir of South Sudanese musician and activist Emmanuel Jal. The National Institute of Informatics catalogue credits the volume to “Emmanuel Jal with Megan Lloyd Davies”; its subject headings place the book in the context of Jal’s childhood, child soldiers in Sudan, civil war, displacement, music, and political activism. First issued by St. Martin’s Press in 2009, the work is a collaboratively written personal narrative rather than a solo memoir by Lloyd-Davies.

Lloyd-Davies’s official biography identifies her as a New York Times and Sunday Times bestselling co-writer and states that books she has co-written have been translated into 27 languages. Her career therefore combines reporting and editorial experience with the shaping of first-person accounts for publication.
