About this Event

Step Inside the World of Bridgerton with Julia Quinn


On Thursday, October 23, 2025, step beyond the page and behind the scenes with #1 New York Times bestselling author Julia Quinn, the literary force behind the global phenomenon Bridgerton. In an exclusive live conversation with award-winning journalist Callie Crossley, Quinn will reflect on her extraordinary career as a novelist—sharing insights into her writing process, the evolution of her characters, and the art of crafting romance for a modern audience. She’ll also reveal what it’s like to bring her stories to Hollywood, from collaborating with Shonda Rhimes to seeing her novels adapted into a global streaming sensation.


Before Bridgerton became a TV hit, it was a beloved book series with millions of devoted readers. A Harvard-educated author and Romance Writers of America Hall of Fame inductee, Quinn has spent more than two decades enchanting readers with her signature blend of sparkling dialogue, emotional depth, and flawed heroines. Her novels—translated into 41 languages—have helped redefine the romance genre, earning praise for their wit, warmth, and timeless appeal.


With her trademark humor and sharp insight, Quinn will open up about the realities of being a working novelist, how she builds unforgettable characters, and the enduring power of love stories in literature. She’ll also pull back the curtain on her whirlwind Hollywood journey, sharing what it's really like to see her characters come to life and partner with one of television’s most influential storytellers.


Guided by Crossley’s thoughtful questions and wide-ranging perspective, the evening promises to be rich, layered, and full of laughter. Whether you're a die-hard Bridgerton fan, a longtime reader of Quinn’s novels, an aspiring writer, or simply curious about the intersection of storytelling and pop culture, this is a conversation you won’t want to miss.
