Taylor Jenkins Reid is an American author and screenwriter best known for her bestselling novels that explore themes of fame, love, ambition, and the complexities of women’s lives—often set against a backdrop of Hollywood or the entertainment industry. Some of her most popular books include "The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo," "Daisy Jones & The Six," "Malibu Rising," and "Carrie Soto Is Back," all of which have become major book club favorites and have attracted adaptations for film and television.

Her breakout novel, "The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo," tells the story of a reclusive, aging Hollywood icon revealing her tumultuous life and many marriages to a young journalist. "Daisy Jones & The Six" is a rock-and-roll oral history about a fictional 1970s band, which was adapted into a Prime Video miniseries. Reid’s writing is often praised for its immersive settings, complex female protagonists, and page-turning plots.

Before her success as a novelist, Taylor Jenkins Reid worked in film production, and she continues to be involved in adaptations of her work. She lives in Los Angeles.
