About

Julia Quinn is the pen name of Julie Pottinger, born Julie Cotler in 1970, an American writer of Regency-set historical romance. She was raised primarily in New England, took a degree in art history from Harvard, and had begun preparatory coursework for medical school when her first two novels, Splendid and Dancing at Midnight, appeared in 1995. She chose the name Quinn so that her books would shelve alongside those of Amanda Quick.

Her best-known work is the Bridgerton series — eight novels published between 2000 and 2006, each following one sibling of a Regency family — which Shondaland adapted into the Netflix series Bridgerton.

Her other sequences include the Splendid trilogy, the Lyndon Sisters, Agents of the Crown, the Bevelstoke novels, the Two Dukes of Wyndham, the Smythe-Smith quartet and the Rokesby novels. She has won three RITA Awards and was inducted into the Romance Writers of America Hall of Fame in 2010. Her books have been translated into more than forty languages.

She lives in the Pacific Northwest.
