Life and career
Fuller was born and raised in Oxfordshire. In the 1980s she studied sculpture at Winchester School of Art, working mainly in wood and stone, before embarking on a marketing career. She began writing fiction at the age of 40 and holds a master's degree in creative and critical writing from the University of Winchester. Our Endless Numbered Days has been published in the UK by Penguin Books, in the United States (Tin House) and Canada (House of Anansi Press), and in translation in France, Israel, Italy, the Netherlands, Taiwan, Turkey, Brazil and the Czech Republic. It will also be published in Denmark and Germany in 2017.
Fuller's second novel, Swimming Lessons, was published by Penguin in January 2017. It was also published in the United States (Tin House), Canada (House of Anansi Press) and Germany (Piper Verlag), and will be published in France and Poland. Of the writing process, she told a fellow writer, "Getting the words down is torture. Once they're written, I love rewriting, editing and polishing."
Fuller is currently researching and working on her third novel. She is married, with a son and a daughter, both at university.
