Beth Kendrick writes contemporary romance and women’s fiction with a sense of humor. Her novels often follow women at turning points — dealing with breakups, career changes, family drama, or fresh starts in small towns. Since her 2004 debut My Favorite Mistake, she has published 20 books across several series and standalone titles.

Her Black Dog Bay series, set in a tiny Delaware seaside town known as “the best place in America to bounce back from your breakup,” ran for five books between 2014 and 2019. She also wrote The 310, a YA trilogy set among Hollywood’s young elite, and contributed to two multi-author anthologies. Her standalone novels range from wedding comedies (Nearlyweds, which became a Hallmark movie) to stories about baking competitions and dog rescue.
