Jennifer Weiner, a world-renowned author, made her sensational debut with the New York Times best-seller "Good in Bed," a novel about a smart, witty plus-size pop-culture journalist whose ex-boyfriend chronicles their ex-sex life in a top-selling women’s magazine. Her second novel, "In Her Shoes," explored the love/hate affairs of sisterhood and quickly became a New York Times best-seller. This novel was adapted into a film by Twentieth Century Fox, released in October 2005 and featured Cameron Diaz, Toni Collette, and Shirley MacLaine.

Weiner's literary success continued with nine published books, and she expanded her influence into television as an executive producer of ABC Family’s "State of Georgia." The comedy series, starring Raven-Symoné, mirrors the larger-than-life personalities often found in Weiner's novels. Following her television debut, she released "Then Came You" in July 2011, a novel praised by Publisher’s Weekly for its savvy storytelling, which delves into the lives of four women navigating the complexities of family and motherhood.

Her best-selling novels also include "Fly Away Home" (2010), "Best Friends Forever" (2009), and "Certain Girls" (2008), the sequel to "Good in Bed." Her books, known for their warmth and wit, have received acclaim for being entertaining and relatable, capturing the hearts of readers across the globe.
