Meet Courtney
Courtney Cole is a New York Times and USA Today bestselling author whose novels have captivated readers around the world.
Her breakout novel, If You Stay, was published in 2012 and helped define the emerging New Adult genre, introducing readers to emotionally charged stories that bridged the gap between young adult and adult fiction. Since then, Courtney has written across multiple genres, including New Adult romance, women's contemporary fiction, young adult fiction, and psychological thrillers.
Over the course of her career, her books have sold more than a million copies and have been translated into multiple languages. Whether exploring love, loss, family, identity, or the darker corners of the human psyche, her stories are known for their emotional depth, unforgettable characters, and the hope that can be found even in life's most difficult moments.
In addition to writing as Courtney Cole, she also writes psychological thrillers under the pen name Courtney Evan Tate, where she explores darker, twistier stories that keep readers turning pages late into the night.
Today, Courtney is building immersive digital storyworlds that invite readers to step beyond the page and into the places, characters, mysteries, and adventures that live beyond the books themselves. Through interactive experiences, exclusive content, and expansive fictional worlds, she creates spaces where readers can become part of the story.

She collects hula girls, because every shelf deserves a little whimsy.
