Authorial Context: Christina Hobbs and Lauren Billing
Love and Other Words was written by Christina Hobbs and Lauren Billings. Their combined pen name is Christina Lauren, and together they have written over 18 novels that have appeared on The New York Times Best Seller list.
Christina and Lauren met online while writing fan fiction. In 2010, the duo coauthored their first book, and they signed with Holly Root from the Waxman Leavell Literary Agency in 2011. Christina Lauren’s books have won wide acclaim and multiple accolades, including the Seal of Excellence and several Goodreads Choice Awards.

They write in the adult and young adult categories.
