Meet Lou

Louise Claire Johnson is the bestselling author of BEHIND THE RED DOOR, a biography-meets-memoir about Elizabeth Arden, named a Top 10 Must-Read by HELLO! Canada and optioned by Lionsgate for film and television.

Her forthcoming novel, SPINSTERS, is a provocative romp through the glamorous, high-stakes world of Manhattan public relations from the 1960s through the 1980s.

A former Elizabeth Arden marketing manager in Geneva and New York, Louise holds a master’s degree from Harvard University and is a graduate of Ivey Business School. Her writing has appeared in The Globe & Mail, The Huffington Post, Darling Magazine, and more.

She is the creator and host of the Word Weaver Podcast and founder of Bookshop Bucket List, a literary travel platform celebrating independent bookshops and the magic of reading.

Louise is a curious creature with an old soul who sends snail mail, collects vintage typewriters, drinks too much coffee, and delights in all things analog. Writing has always been her constant in an inconstant world, and ultimately, it became a calling she couldn’t ignore.

She lives in Toronto, where she writes full-time, and can be found on Instagram @louiseclairejohnson.
