Molly Parkin — fashion editor, painter, broadcaster, and one of Britain's most flamboyantly unconventional personalities — turns her sharp, unsparing eye inward in Write Up, a memoir that crackles with wit, candour, and the kind of hard-won self-knowledge that only a life fully lived can produce. From her Welsh working-class roots to the dizzying heights of London's swinging sixties fashion scene, Parkin chronicles her extraordinary journey through art, excess, love, and reinvention with a voice that is at once irreverent and searingly honest. Published by the prestigious London imprint Michael Joseph, Write Up stands as a testament to Parkin's singular talent for turning personal history into vivid, compulsively readable prose. Her style is bold and unguarded, refusing the polished distance of conventional memoir in favour of raw immediacy — a reflection of the woman herself. Readers drawn to lives lived against the grain will find in these pages a portrait of creative ambition and survival that lingers long after the final page is turned.
