I’m a ragtag band of misfits in a single body, so come read my thoughts and watch the weird unfold.

Or maybe I’m just Julia Kent, a multi-New York Times and USA Today bestselling author of romantic comedy.

Maybe…

Maybe you’re already subscribed. Cool. Thanks. If you were on my old newsletter, I migrated you on over. You’re already subscribed and reading this is 100% free, so stick around and have fun with me. This is going to be a very different experience.

But if you’re not subscribed yet because maybe you’re not ready to commit (that’s okay, you want to try out the cow before you drink the milk, or… whatever…), just know you can subscribe to get full access to Julia Kent’s Writing Cabin and you’ll never miss my advance chapters, my great listens, my deep dives into questions about fiction, emotion, human motivation, and the burning question we all suffer to answer, like Why do sugar-free gummy bears turn our digestive tracts into the plot of Zombieland?

Look around. Grab a cup of your favorite beverage. Unplug from social media. Have a read. Comment, or even — gasp! — talk about ideas.

And books. Always, always… books.

Official biography:

New York Times and USA Today bestselling author Julia Kent writes romantic comedy with an edge. Since 2013, she has sold more than 2.5 million books, with 5 New York Times bestsellers and more than 23 appearances on the USA Today bestseller list. Her books have been translated into French, Italian, and German, with more titles releasing in the future.

From billionaires to BBWs to new adult rock stars, Julia finds a sensual, goofy joy in every contemporary romance she writes. Unlike Shannon from Shopping for a Billionaire, she did not meet her husband after dropping her phone in a men's room toilet (and he isn't a billionaire she met in a romantic comedy).

She lives in New England with her husband and three children where she is the only person in the household with the gene required to change empty toilet paper rolls. Her husband disputes this.

She loves to hear from her readers by email at jkentauthor@gmail.com, on Twitter @jkentauthor, on Facebook at https://www.facebook.com/jkentauthor and on Instagram @jkentauthor

What can I expect from your “Writing Cabin”?

All of my posts are deep dives into topics ranging from tropes in the romance genre to personal experiences to specific discussions about my books to random concepts like food inequality.

If it pops into my head, you get to hear about it. I love the Comments section because it’s an interactive way for me to know what you’re thinking, how you respond to my writing, and directions I might consider when I hit the “pause” button and think about what to write next, or WHY to write next.

You’ll notice there’s a paid option here, an “Upgrade” of sorts. When you pay for this newsletter, you help me to keep doing what I do best: write books that you enjoy.

In return, you get some cool swag, a signed paperback of YOUR choice, and a birthday card in your birthday month, signed by me and my husband, Clark.

Yeah. Clark Kent. :)

I’m an “indie” author, 99% self-published, and what started with a small novella in November 2012 has grown to a backlist of more than 120 titles (including translations in 3 languages - German, French, and Italian).

Part of being on Substack is about finding some freedom to explore topics and worlds that don’t fit neatly into the standard retailers’ requirements for books, so when you support this newsletter, you get some goodies and I get revenue I need to explore and write.

It’s Win-Win.

Let’s win together. <3
