Franklin’s sister, Sydney Knoll-Cortese, was born 11/13/23 at 9:11am, making her a double Scorpio 👹. Thank you so much to our surrogate, Macy, for keeping her safe and strong these last nine months. Maybe one day I’ll write more, but for now I have Sydney’s early childhood education to worry about. See slide four for details.

This is one of those life-is-a-wild-effing ride moments. My first review in The New York Times, by none other than Patton Oswalt, whose late wife Michelle McNamara penned THE perennial account of the Golden State Killer, I’ll Be Gone in the Dark. Here I am, at Skylight Books in 2018, to hear Patton speak about Michelle, who wrote about victims of violent crimes like human beings, something that was still avant-garde even just a few short years ago. I couldn’t dream of a better way to kick off publication day, and I had wonderful dreams last night after I finally got my dirty martini 😊

In 2023 I faced down two major fears—turning forty and parenthood—and neither has been as terrible as I envisioned they would be. I lost my best girl who I miss so much but I gained a new lil best buddy. I went back to my college for a week where I wrote 25k words of my next book in the chapel library where I used to cram for finals. I published a book that was an instant New York Times best seller, a NYT notable book of 2023, an indie next pick, an Amazon editor’s pick, a Goodreads choice nominee and the recipient of four starred reviews from all four of the trades that are not usually very nice to me! I’m really proud of what I accomplished this year and feeling excited for 2024. I can’t wait for Sydney to laugh and for her to recognize Franklin who is desperate for her attention, and to get back to book four and developing Bright Young Women for series 🤞 also excited for the Ina lasagna I’m making tonight and the Lambrusco I’ll drink whilst doing so
For Vogue, I wrote about how Ted Bundy clarified my feelings around forgiveness—fuck it and anyone who says you need to give it to heal. Link in bio x

Bright Young Women is an instant New York Times best seller. Guys, thank you. Publishing a book is an immensely humbling and vulnerable experience and I am SO grateful to everyone who preordered, showed up to an event, tagged me in a lovely review, the A team @marysueruccibooks, agent extraordinaire @a.seddy, and my badass Sunshine Sachs girlies. Is 3pm too early for a martini?
Happy Galentine’s Day from me and my best gals. 💌
Jessica Knoll, author of Bright Young Women, and Julie Clark, author of The Last Flight, are going live on Instagram tonight at 9 PM EST. Jessica & Julie will discuss our fascination with true crime, how we can shift our focus to the victims of attacks and writing about these acts without having nightmares.
I’m sorry @drdebbiemagids this is just my brain!!!!
