Katherine Center
Katherine Center wrote her first novel in the sixth grade (fan fiction about Duran Duran) and got hooked. From then on, she was doomed to want to be a writer—obsessively working on poems, essays, and stories, as well as memorizing lyrics, keeping countless journals, and reading constantly.
She won a creative writing scholarship in high school, and then went on to major in creative writing at Vassar College, where she won the Vassar College Fiction Prize. At 22, she won a fellowship to the University of Houston’s Creative Writing Program and moved home to Texas with plans to become Jane Austen ASAP.

One & Only (2026)
Maurene Goo
"Meet my new favorite book! I'm so grateful to Maurene Goo for showing up in my life with her lovely novel One & Only at the perfect moment - just when I was longing for a story that could sweep me completely away. The premise is fantastic, the plot kept me guessing, and the last chapter literally gave me shivers. What a fresh, engaging, joy of a read!"
We All Want Impossible Things (2022)
Catherine Newman
"Catherine Newman sees the heartbreak and comedy of life with wisdom and unflinching compassion. The way she finds the extraordinary in the everyday is nothing short of poetry. She's a writer's writer - and a human's human."
Book Lovers (2021)
Emily Henry
"You KNOW I love a book--and a writer--when I bust out my trusty ballpoint and absolutely maul the pages...and that's exactly what I just did to the divine Emily Henry. I could not devour Book Lovers fast enough. Emily Henry is pure delight. I'm utterly enchanted by her wry, self-aware sense of humor, the relish that she brings to every cleverly crafted sentence, and her irrepressible love for love."
