LAURA HANKIN

I'm an author, screenwriter, and performer who writes novels that you can read on a beach but also for a book club. My books include ONE-STAR ROMANCE, a Book of the Month pick that The Washington Post calls "real, refreshing and romantic," THE DAYDREAMS, one of the "Best Beach Reads of 2023" (Harper's Bazaar, Cosmopolitan, and more), HAPPY & YOU KNOW IT, a Book of the Month and Library Reads selection, and A SPECIAL PLACE FOR WOMEN, as seen on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert. I have some TV/film projects in development, and my musical comedy has been featured in outlets like The Washington Post and The New York Times. I'm based in Washington, DC, where I once fell off a treadmill twice in one day.
