Niloufar Lamakan is an Iranian-born author, interior designer and artist living in London. Her debut romantic comedy, “Swiping at 60”, follows sixty-year-old Sophia who has ditched love forever, instead choosing to date a new man each week, but after a series of riotous encounters, her no-strings-attached plan begins to unravel. Niloufar wanted to write a funny age-positive story about women, dating and sex. Her portrayal of a sixty-year-old female protagonist in a lead romantic comedy role captures perfectly the zeitgeist around representation of older women.
