Helen Elizabeth Fielding (born February 19, 1958 in Morley, West Yorkshire) is an English author, best known as the author of the novel Bridget Jones's Diary (winner of the 1998 British Book of the Year award) and its sequel Bridget Jones: The Edge Of Reason.
The Bridget Jones books had their origins in a column published in The Independent and The Daily Telegraph in 1997 and 1998. In August 2005, her weekly column, in which Bridget falls pregnant, was re-introduced by The Independent. A collection of the new columns is expected in late 2006.
Olivia Joules and The Overactive Imagination was published in 2004, a spoof on the spy genre.
In her early years, she attended Wakefield Girls High School in Wakefield, England. Fielding graduated from St. Anne's College, University of Oxford with an English degree, and worked in television journalism for several years, including a stint as a researcher on Noel Edmonds's The Late, Late Breakfast Show in the mid-1980s,[1] before writing her first novel, Cause Celeb. She was for a time the girlfriend of screenwriter Richard Curtis, who went on to write Four Weddings and a Funeral, Notting Hill and the Blackadder series. The director of the film adaptation of Bridget Jones's Diary, Sharon Maguire, also appeared in the column/book as one of Bridget's friends, 'Shazzer'. Fielding also remains close friends with the writer Nick Hornby.
In 2003, she was listed in The Observer as one of the 50 funniest acts in British comedy.
In February 2004, she gave birth to her first child, a boy named Dashiell Michael, with longtime boyfriend Kevin Curran, a writer for The Simpsons. Their second child, a daughter, was born July 16, 2006. In the early 2000s, Fielding appeared in The Simpsons episode "A Star Is Born-Again" as herself.
In 2005, she resumed her Bridget Jones column at the Independent. Bridget becomes pregnant and has a baby in this series, but love and commitment remain elusive.
Bridget Jones wants to have it all - and once she's given up smoking and got down to 8st 7 she will. Based on Helen Fielding's diary in the Independent newspaper, this is a novel about a year in the life of a single girl on an optimistic but doomed quest for self-improvement and Inner Poise. First published in 1996.

評分entertaining & joyful
評分迴頭想想書名和內容,這本書還是很不錯的。太多太多的BJ的感受讀起來感同身受。點點滴滴的生活記錄,有尷尬、有丟臉、有幽默、也有失落......但奇特的是,種種單身的睏窘並不讓人失望、抱怨。所有的難事在作者的筆下都帶有幽默的色彩,讀的時候,忍不住哈哈一笑,自己生活的陰霾也隨之散去。
