Score with Kennedy Ryan

Presented by Kindred Stories, a Black-owned, women-owned bookstore in Third Ward, Houston, TX.

Doors open at 6 PM CST. Each ticket includes one pre-signed, indie-exclusive copy of Kennedy Ryan's new book, Score . The book will be available for pickup at the event.
Score is a celebration of Black creatives, and a much-anticipated, heart-wrenching original, never-before-published romance, as well as book two in the Hollywood Renaissance series, following Reel.

When Verity Hill and Wright "Monk" Bellamy suddenly find themselves thrust together on an epic Harlem Renaissance biopic, can Verity, an award-winning screenwriter, and Monk, a world-class musician, put the past behind them for this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity?

New York Times bestselling author and BookTok star Kennedy Ryan once again shows that she is at the top of her game with intersections of diversity. We are gearing up with intentionality for the marketing, including a partnership with the Black Bookstore Coalition, a 5-city book with ticket tour, and more to come.

Tickets to the events include access to a live event with Kennedy Ryan and a pre-signed, indie-exclusive copy of Score . The book will be available for pickup upon entering the event.

Note: There will be a modified photo op with Kennedy – in addition to special photo ops for you and your friends throughout the evening.

All sales are final; refunds and transfers are not permitted. If you are unable to attend the event, you will have two (2) weeks to retrieve your book. Please refer to your email for forthcoming instructions on how to claim your book. Failure to retrieve your book within this two-week period will result in forfeiture of your copy.
