Lauren Weisberger (born March 28, 1977) is an American writer and author of the 2003 bestseller The Devil Wears Prada, a roman à clef of her experience as an assistant to Vogue editor-in-chief Anna Wintour.

Weisberger worked as a writer and editor for Vogue and Departures magazines prior to authoring The Devil Wears Prada, which was adapted into a film of the same name in 2006.

Weisberger was born in Scranton, Pennsylvania to a school teacher mother and a department store president turned mortgage broker father.

At age eleven, her parents divorced and she and her younger sister moved to Allentown, Pennsylvania, in the Lehigh Valley region of the state, with their mother.

[4] After graduating from Cornell University, Weisberger backpacked through much of Europe, the Middle East, and Asia, including Egypt, Hong Kong, India, Israel, Jordan, Nepal, and Thailand.

After returning to the United States following her backpacking expedition, Weisberger settled in Manhattan, where she was hired as assistant to Vogue editor Anna Wintour.

Weisberger said she felt out of place at the magazine, though Vogue managing editor Laurie Jones later said, "She seemed to be a perfectly happy, lovely woman".

[5] Weisberger and Story began working for Departures, an American Express publication, where she wrote 100-word reviews and became an assistant editor.

The Devil Wears Prada is a semi-fictional but highly critical book on the Manhattan elite, and is largely based on Weisberger's experience at Vogue magazine.

[7][8] Film rights to The Devil Wears Prada were acquired by 20th Century Fox, which released a movie of the same name in June 2006, starring Meryl Streep (as Miranda Priestly) and Anne Hathaway (as Andrea Sachs).

[12] Weisberger secured a $1 million advance from Simon & Schuster for her second novel, Everyone Worth Knowing, which was based on the trials and tribulations of the New York City public relations world; the book was published in fall 2005.

USA Today called it "lackluster imitation" and Entertainment Weekly said it was a "ho-hum rehash" of The Devil Wears Prada.
