Listen "How A 2,000-Plus-Day Yoga Streak Fuels Jasmine Guillory’s Mind And Body"
Episode Synopsis
From lawyer to a New York Times bestselling author. Jasmine Guillory found her "happily ever after" writing happily ever afters.
Vogue Magazine calls Jasmine the "queen of the modern-day romance."
Literary fairy godmother Reese Witherspoon's book club has featured her work too. Her book, "The Proposal," was the first romance ever picked for Witherspoon's club.
Jasmine's books feature accomplished Black women navigating romantic complications.
Jasmine is a Stanford Law grad who worked as an attorney for years before giving fiction a try as a hobby.
She found the creative outlet exhilarating and soon was spending lunch breaks, evenings and weekends writing. An online novel writing challenge provided the push to finish her first book.
But she didn't quit her day job. And Jasmine credits that decision for a successful professional pivot.
Eventually, Jasmine secured a multi-book publishing deal and spent five weeks on the New York Times bestseller list.
Eight books later, Jasmine writes the kind of books that Publisher's Weekly describes like this: "The lush background and Guillory's signature blend of sexy, sweet, and funny keep the pages flying."
Her other hobby? Yoga.
