The page contains a biography, a bibliography, interviews and articles, links, and a message board for people to discuss Fay Weldon and her works. The site also contains a link to Woodworm, or Love Amongst the Scientists, a new novel serialized on the Internet.

BIOGRAPHY
Fay Weldon (b. 1933). Fay Weldon was born Alvechurch, Worcestershire, England. Her father was a doctor and her mother wrote commercial fiction under the pen name "Pearl Bellaris." When her parents separated at the age of five Weldon moved with her mother and sister to live with her grandmother in New Zealand. She returned to England to study psychology and economics at the University of St. Andrews in Scotland. Weldon married in her twenties, but then quickly divorced, supporting herself and her young son with a successful career as an advertising copywriter. She married again in 1962 and had three more sons. Shortly afterward Weldon decided to give up advertising for creative writing. She began writing plays for television and radio, and published her first novel, The Fat Woman's Joke, in 1967. Since that time she has published many novels, short story collections, and plays for radio, television and the theater, distinguishing herself for both her artistry with language and insight into social concerns. She currently lives in Hamptead, London with her husband, the poet Nick Fox.
