Jasmine Guillory is an American romance novelist. Her works' protagonists are often African-American professionals.[1] In February 2019, her book, The Proposal, was ranked on The New York Times Best Seller list for paperback trade fiction.[2]

Education and early career

Guillory graduated from Bishop O'Dowd High School in Oakland, California in 1993.[3] She then majored in history at Wellesley College in Wellesley, Massachusetts, graduating in 1997.[4] After graduation, Guillory worked in Washington D.C. for two years before attending Stanford Law School.[4] She graduated in 2002,[5] and later clerked at a Federal District Court in San Francisco for two years before joining a law firm where she focused on security and intellectual property.[3]

Writing career

In April 2015, Guillory began transitioning to a career as an author.[4] She participated in National Novel Writing Month (NaNoWriMo), an annual writing project where she completed half of a book draft for her first published novel, The Wedding Date (2018).[6][7] The book was noted in publications by Target, Elle Magazine, The Washington Post, and USA Today Bestsellers.[3] Her subsequent novels include The Proposal (2018), The Wedding Party (2019), and Party of Two (2020).[8][9][10] Her work features protagonists of color and addresses race throughout the storylines.[9] According to Hannah Giorgis of The Atlantic, Guillory's writing frequently includes consent as a theme.[9]
