The Writing Gals are two USA Today bestselling authors, Victorine E. Lieske (also a New York Times bestseller) and Michelle Pennington, who have been writing sweet romance for over a decade. Known for their witty rom-coms and heartwarming love stories, they’ve sold hundreds of thousands of books and have helped countless authors along the way. In addition to her contemporary romances, Michelle also writes historical and fantasy romance, while Victorine is a six-figure author with a knack for blending humor and heart. Together, they've taught writing and marketing classes at conferences across the United States and love cheering on other authors as they grow.

The Writing Gals began in 2018, and they run a thriving Facebook group and YouTube channel, offering practical advice on everything from story craft to self-publishing and marketing. Their Writing Gals Academy features over 80 on-demand classes from top indie authors, including six- and seven-figure earners. When they're not writing or teaching, Victorine is likely crocheting (and pretending she doesn’t have a yarn hoarding problem), and Michelle is probably rearranging her ever-growing sticker and planner collection.
