ABOUT LOUISE

Author and book coach Louise Branson has lived in and reported from dozens of countries including China, the former Soviet Union, the United States, the former Yugoslavia, and more. A former Sunday Times war correspondent and USA TODAY editorial writer, her writing and commentaries have appeared in the Washington Post, Boston Globe, Baltimore Sun, Newsday, on CNN, CBS, PBS Newshour, C-SPAN, NPR, BBC, Sky News and more.
A UK native, Louise grew up in Uganda, attended boarding schools in Kenya and Britain, and graduated from the universities of Lancaster and Paris. She speaks several foreign languages.
Louise has co-authored bestselling biographies of Mikhail Gorbachev and Slobodan Milosevic with spouse Dusko Doder. Their latest book is a gripping spy thriller/love story memoir, The Inconvenient Journalist, about Doder's extraordinary Soviet Union journalism and the price he paid for dedication to telling the truth; Louise completed it after Lewy body dementia incapacitated him. This labor of love inspired her to become a certified book coach to memoir writers. She divides her time between Chiang Mai, Thailand, and the Washington DC area.
