Personal life

Before being a novelist, she worked as an advertising executive for seven years.[1]
Career
[edit]Harding published her first novel, The Journal of Mortifying Moments, in 2004. In an interview, Harding stated: "Over the years I'd attempted to write deep, literary novels but I never got very far and they were never very good. When I decided to try my hand at humor and came up with the concept for The Journal of Mortifying Moments, it flowed much more smoothly."[1]
She was nominated for the 2018 Arthur Ellis Awards for Best Novel for The Party; however, this book lost to Peter Robinson's Sleeping in the Ground.[3]
