Johanna Edwards is the bestselling author of The Next Big Thing, Your Big Break, and How to Be Cool. She is an award-winning journalist who has been featured in USA Today, Us Weekly, and The Boston Globe, among others.

Johanna currently lives in Memphis, Tennessee. She would like you to know that she has never met Elvis (he died before she was born) or Justin Timberlake.

Johanna loves partying, shopping, and television, although she balances this out by reading things like The Economist. She is also an avid traveler, and was lucky enough to live in London a few years ago.

When Johanna isn’t writing, she can usually be found drinking way too much iced coffee, hanging around bookstores, or watching reality TV.

Johanna also writes teen books under the name Jo Edwards.
