Caroline Ryder is a #1 New York Times bestselling ghostwriter, journalist, and screenwriter (WGA) based in Los Angeles. Born in Spain to a Brazilian-Irish family and raised in London, she cut her teeth reporting on petty crimes and weirder truths before becoming a fixture in underground fashion and music media. Her writing has appeared in Dazed, AnOther, The Face, New York Magazine, LA Weekly, and Variety, where she served as Style Editor.

Following a year-long detour in Joshua Tree, she began ghostwriting memoirs—most notably Dirty Rocker Boys (named one of Rolling Stone’s 50 Greatest Rock Memoirs) and The House of My Mother with Shari Franke, a #1 New York Times bestseller.

Her screenplays have placed at Sundance, the Nicholl Fellowships, and the Austin Film Festival. She holds an MFA in Screenwriting from USC and still believes in art, truth, and the beauty of human imperfection.
