Julia Quinn is a romance novel author. But she isn’t just any old romance writer. She’s the writer of the wildly successful Bridgerton series of Regency-era romances, which spawned the wildly successful Netflix Bridgerton series which debuted in late 2020. Likely as a result, by March 2021 all eight of her Bridgerton novels were on the New York Times bestseller list at the same time, which was unprecedented for an adult novelist. In total, she’s had 19 of her nearly 40 books on the New York Times bestseller list.
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.
She’s also an activist who advocates for many causes including libraries and anti-censorship, reproductive freedom and gun safety. She’ll be speaking at the Maltz Performing Arts Center as part of the Writers Center Stage series. Get tickets here.
