Carolyn Huynh loves writing about messy Asian women who never learn from their mistakes (but with hopecore endings). Her debut book, The Fortunes of Jaded Women, was a Good Morning America book club pick and selected as one of the best books of 2022 by NPR and the Washington Post. It is currently in development for television by Heyday Studios and Universal International Studios with Carolyn co-adapting and executive producing. Her sophomore book, The Family Recipe, is due out from Atria in Spring 2025; and her third book, The Department of Arranged Entanglements, is due out in Spring 2026, also from Atria. Carolyn also participated in the playwriting incubator at the Ensemble Studio Theatre’s Ignite Project, where she developed her first play, Not Courtney, in 2024. When she's not perpetually on deadline, Carolyn daydreams about having iced coffee on a rooftop or hopping on the back of a scooter in Ho Chi Minh City. She is represented by Laura Reddy at Range Media Partners; Jordan Hill at New Leaf Literary; and Melissa Rogal at Lichter, Grossman, Nichols, Feldman, Rogal, Shikora & Clark Inc.
