Jenny Hale is founder and director of the romantic fiction imprint Harpeth Road Press. Harpeth Road was named one of the eight best publishers in Nashville by Reedsy.com. Its very first title was a number one Clean and Wholesome romance on Amazon.com. Harpeth Road signed a TV film and shopping agreement for its second title, by a debut author. Since then, in their first three years, the publishing imprint has gone on to sell nearly 90,000 units of their books in all formats, hitting many bestseller lists; their Kindle Unlimited pages-read is well over a million, and their agents have sold foreign rights translations to six countries. Their books have been on SouthernLiving.com in their features “11 Small Town Romance Books That’ll Make You Feel Right At Home” and “Christmas Novels to Start Reading Now,” as well as Bookbub.com’s “15 Charming Small-Town Romances.” Their novel The Christmas Letters was selected as an Editor’s Pick for BookLife by Publisher’s Weekly for outstanding quality and The Magic of Sea Glass was chosen by Kirkus editors to be featured in their June 2023 print edition. Harpeth Road’s most recent debut author’s novel The Christmas Promise was a number one bestseller in Christmas. Harpeth Road is currently accepting submissions.

She is also a USA Today, Amazon, and international bestselling author of romantic contemporary fiction. Her books have sold over a million copies, have been translated into multiple languages worldwide, and adapted for television. Her novels Coming Home for Christmas and Movie Guide Epiphany Award winner Christmas Wishes and Mistletoe Kisses are Hallmark Channel original movies. She was included in Oprah Magazine’s “19 Dreamy Summer Romances to Whisk You Away” and Southern Living’s “30 Christmas Novels to Start Reading Now.” Her stories are chock-full of feel-good romance and overflowing with warm settings, great friends, and family. When she isn’t heading up her romantic fiction imprint Harpeth Road or writing, she can be found running around her hometown of Nashville with her husband, two boys, and their labradoodle, grabbing coffee, or taking pictures—her favorite pastimes.
