Lauren Weisberger was born in Scranton, Pennsylvania on March 28, 1977.  She graduated from Cornell University in 1999 with a BA in English, then traveled to Egypt, Europe, Hong Kong, India, Jordan, Nepal and Thailand (yes, we just listed those in alphabetical order, though that's not the order she traveled).  When she returned to the States, she took a job as the Assistant to the Editor-in-chief of Vogue.  Is it any wonder her first novel was The Devil Wears Prada?

Her first novel vaulted onto the New York Times bestseller list and remained there for six months.  It wasn't long before the movie version of The Devil Wears Prada hit the big screen starring Meryl Streep and Anne Hathaway.  Lauren has a cameo in the film, but even she has a hard time spotting it.  The movie is fun, but you know the old saying--the book is better.
