Kim Hooper’s latest novel, Woman on the Verge, will release on June 17, 2025.

Her debut novel, People Who Knew Me, was published in 2016 and hailed by the Wall Street Journal as “refreshingly raw and honest.” The novel was adapted to be an award-winning podcast series starring Rosamund Pike and Hugh Laurie.

Publishers Weekly wrote about her second novel, Cherry Blossoms (2018), “Hooper gives familiar themes of loss and redemption fresh and inviting life.” Her third novel, Tiny (2019), was awarded the Silver in the General Fiction category of the 2019 INDIE Awards by Foreword Reviews. All the Acorns on the Forest Floor (2020), “a stirring series of stories interwoven by the common threads of human frailty and the complexities of relationships” (Suzanne Redfearn) was a 2020 Foreword INDIE finalist. Kim’s fifth novel, No Hiding in Boise (2021), was a 2021 Indie Next Pick and was named a 2021 Great Group Read by the Women’s National Book Association. Her sixth novel, Ways the World Could End (2022), received a starred review in Publisher’s Weekly and the audiobook was an Earphones Award Winner.

Kim’s first nonfiction book, All the Love: Healing Your Heart and Finding Meaning After Pregnancy Loss (2021), co-written with Dr. Huong Diep and Meredith Resnick, aims to support and empower women through the grief of miscarriage, a grief that Kim knows well (she suffered four losses herself before giving birth to her daughter in 2017).

Kim lives in southern California with her daughter and way too many pets.
