Mae Holliday writes romantic comedies full of chaotic meet-cutes, ill-timed honesty, and characters who’d rather overthink everything than say how they really feel. Her stories are bursting with awkward banter, accidental vulnerability, and the kind of happy endings that make your chest ache (in a good way).

When she’s not writing, Mae is probably hyperfixating on vintage signage, analyzing fictional relationships like it’s her job (it kind of is), or pretending her earbuds mean “do not interact.” Her favorite trope? When two weirdos fall in love and finally realize they were never too much—they just hadn’t met each other yet.
