Note on Format: This event is a ticketed signing line. Attendees are only permitted to have two books signed. Copies of Julia Quinn's books will be available for purchase at the event, but we strongly encourage you to order any books you want through our website to guarantee that you will have them for the day of the event.
#1 New York Times bestselling author Julia Quinn loves to dispel the myth that smart women don’t read (or write) romance, and if you watch reruns of the game show The Weakest Link you might just catch her winning the $79,000 jackpot. She displayed a decided lack of knowledge about baseball, country music, and plush toys, but she is proud to say that she aced all things British and literary, answered all of her history and geography questions correctly, and knew that there was a Da Vinci long before there was a code.
On December 25, 2020, Netflix premiered BRIDGERTON, based on her popular series of novels about the Bridgerton family. Season 2 premiered on March 25, 2022. Season 3 premiered May 16, 2024. Season 4, which will follow Offer from a Gentleman (Book 3 in the Bridgerton Series), will premiere in 2026. On May 4, 2023, Netflix premiered Queen Charlotte, A Bridgerton Story, and not only did she serve as an executive producer, she appeared in the film as a corseted, bewigged extra! The accompanying novel, co-written with Shonda Rhimes, released the following week.
Julia Quinn is the author of almost 40 books — all romance, mostly novels (some novellas, a graphic novel, and a few that defy easy labelling; please peruse her bookshelf). When not writing, she spends much of her time advocating for causes she strongly believes in. A graduate of Harvard & Radcliffe Colleges, she lives in the Pacific Northwest with her family.
