Gisele Scanlon

Over one million people have read Gisèle Scanlon's Goddess Guide books and she's credited as having invented an original, new youth genre. 

Somewhere between being chosen for the Richard and Judy Christmas book party with her Goddess Guide book alongside, Gordon Ramsay, Ricky Gervais, Jamie Oliver and Billie Piper, going on to present a travel/fashion cool-hunting slot for the Richard & Judy show on Channel 4 and becoming an award winning bestselling author and illustrator (best newcomer at the Irish Book Awards) author, adventurer and TV presenter Gisèle Scanlon is a new trusted lifestyle name.

Her phenomenally successful ‘Goddess Guide' books made in the aftermath of a dedicated journalistic writing career that saw Irish born Gisèle ripping her own route through the world of international travel, beauty and fashion have now earned her a following of well in excess of a million book readers worldwide and have established her as a kind of pop star writer we haven't seen for a while.

Her knack for uncovering secrets on food, fashion, beauty and travel from inspirational people while gently guiding the reader/viewer through where to shop, eat, visit etc to achieve their inner goddess; including location specific sections dedicated to some of the most inspirational cities in the world has put her at the forefront of female adventure. Accompanied by her camera and her friends she travels across the world in search of her own style of adventure. The resulting "Goddess Guide" series has garnered her numerous international accolades.

She and her work have been featured in many magazines and blogs as the name-check for insider knowledge and cool including US ELLE ‘She's the one in the know', Grazia ‘The Goddess Guide is the book du jour' and Topshop's blog ‘The ultimate inside scoop, told in a way that will make you want to tick off everything on Gisele's beautifully laid out pages!'

Stateside, Paris Hilton is transfixed by her (seen recently carrying a copy of Gisèle's book overflowing with bookmarks around Hollywood) and Courtney Love has labelled her ‘My favourite Irish person on Earth or Mars'. The reason? As memorable for her encyclopaedic knowledge of fashion, beauty, travel, art and food as for her unique behind the scenes interview technique peppered with clever banter and quick wit (Renee Zellweger, John Galliano, Vivienne Westwood, Damien Hirst etc.) she is a new, fresh, authentic and wholly original talent. 

When not travelling Gisèle Scanlon is based between London and Dublin while working on her next book and developing her own brand of tv. You can catch her on the go at www.thegoddessguide.com in between drinking many cups of tea.
