Julia Quinn

Julia Quinn loves to dispel the myth that smart women don’t read (or write) romance. She is the author of nineteen consecutive New York Times bestsellers, including the wildly popular Bridgerton series. In March 2021, all eight of Quinn’s Bridgerton novels were on the NYT list at the same time, a record (at that time) for an adult fiction author. A Netflix adaptation of the Bridgerton series debuted in 2020. Quinn was inducted into the Romance Writers Hall of Fame in 2009.
