Author Profile: Talia Hibbert

Talia Hibbert is a British author who writes contemporary and paranormal POC romance books. Not only a New York Times and Wall Street Journal best-selling author but an ingenious romance writer with a passion for bringing diverse and realistic representation to romantic reads. Her characters include race-diverse leads, body, sexual orientation, and neurodivergent diversity.

Fun fact: she released nine books in her first year which she self-published. Her passion for writing goes beyond telling a good story and showcasing that attractiveness is in the eye of the beholder. That anyone from any background can be loved, despite what we see in mainstream media. Her books also feature queer characters, characters with depression, and characters with autism.

Her first traditional and not self-published book, Get a Life, Chole Brown, features a POC character with chronic pain and received the Ripped Bodice award for excellence in romance fiction in 2019. Overall her steamy tales and heart-wrenching stories have garnered much attention in recent years, and we look forward to seeing her future work.
