Sarah Boseley was the health editor of the Guardian newspaper for twenty-three years, writing about health and medical issues with both a UK and a global perspective. She also created her own global health blog and made many videos and podcasts for the Guardian. One video about the pandemic had more than 10 million views. She is active on social media with more than 20,000 followers on X and is also on Bluesky and Instagram.  She has won many awards for her work, including science and health journalist at the Society of Editors Press Awards, which she won twice, the second time for her coverage of the pandemic.  She also won the One World Media award (twice), the BMJ Group journalism award and the Lorenzo Natali prize from the European Commission. Since leaving the Guardian in 2021 she was worked in a freelance capacity for the Guardian, Prospect magazine, the Lancet and elsewhere. 

Her first book The Shape We’re In: How Junk Food and Diets Are Shortening Our Lives was published by Guardian Faber Books.

She lives in London.

Graham Greene – a journalist who became an extraordinary, profound and quite brilliant novelist.


SARAH ABOUT KATE

Kate unfailingly makes me feel good about myself and my writing. No author can ask for more. But she's pretty amazing at negotiating a contract too.


KATE ABOUT SARAH

Sarah is formidably knowledgeable about world health and medical matters and also writes with great clarity and wit. She’s a brilliant journalist and author and I’m honoured to represent her.
