Taj McCoy.

As part of Unbound’s ongoing quest to celebrate books and genres of all kinds, this year we’re really looking forward to a panel about romance novels! Moderated by our friend Shane Mullen at Left Bank Books in St. Louis, a brilliant collection of writers will join us to talk about their work in this massively popular (and massively entertaining) area. Taj McCoy, author (most recently) of Zora Books Her Happy Ever After, will be one of the participants. We can’t wait to welcome her!

Law grad Taj McCoy is committed to championing plus-sized Black love stories and characters with a strong sense of sisterhood and familial bonds. Born in Oakland, Taj started writing as a child and celebrated her first publications in grade school. When she’s not writing, Taj boosts other marginalized writers, practices yoga, co-hosts the Fat Like Me and Better Than Brunch podcasts, shares recipes, and cooks supper club meals for friends.
