Lizzie Frainier is associate travel editor for The Times and The Sunday Times. She has a decade of experience in travel journalism, writing and editing for Britain’s best magazines and newspapers.

She makes regular appearances on Times Radio, and has also written viral articles on dating, which have led to appearances on Radio 4's Woman’s Hour and breakfast television.

Lizzie enjoys appearing on panels at live and online events, including at bookshops, universities, shows, hotels and members’ clubs.

Her first book, Main Character: Lessons from a Real-life Romcom, is out February 6, 2025. A witty, relatable memoir that explores modern dating through the lens of our favourite romcoms.

‘This is like the book version of a cake. I ate it fast and it gave me a sugar rush. Each relationship (outlined with forensic, fearless detail) pulled hard on my heartstrings, given I could remember the time I too had been breadcrumbed by a Dylan. Lizzie Frainier is admirably frank and deeply likeable. She takes you along for the ride of her love life like a British Carrie Bradshaw. ‘
