Interview | Author Julia Quinn on Bridgerton and life after global success

Often, famous literary personalities are presumed to be either “gifted” or simply lucky. The author of the Bridgerton series, Julia Quinn, proves that there is much more to this journey than such simplistic binaries. She was on her way to becoming a doctor, studying hard for exams and even earning admission to Yale Medical School. After a few months of training, however, she realised that her true calling was literature. With three books already published, she found the confidence to pursue writing full-time. Her story is not one of overnight success, but of perseverance and staying true to herself.
