Isabella Kathleen Rusbridger (born 28 July 1983), known professionally as Bella Mackie, is an English author, journalist, and comedy writer.
Mackie is the daughter of Alan Rusbridger, former editor-in-chief of The Guardian, and Lindsay Mackie. She grew up in Kentish Town, North London, where she lives to this day.[1][2][3] Mackie began her studies at university, but withdrew for mental health reasons. She had dealt with anxiety, agoraphobia, panic attacks, and OCD since childhood.[4]
Career
After working as a journalist, Mackie's first book Jog On is a non-fiction account of how running helped her to alleviate mental health problems.[5]
Her second book, How to Kill Your Family explores funny ways for women to kill people in an attempt to subvert the attention given to men who murder women.[6] An adaptation of the book was commissioned by Netflix in 2024, with Anya Taylor-Joy attached to star.[7]
