Whitney Cubbison

Whitney Cubbison writes upmarket women's fiction for readers of Emily Henry, Annabel Monaghan, Carley Fortune, and Taylor Jenkins Reid. A dual American-French citizen, she moved to Paris in 2009 and spent sixteen years at Microsoft — thirteen of them from the Paris office — before leaving in 2022 to write full-time. She published her first novel, Will There Be Wine?, in January 2023. Her second novel, Will There Be Love?, won a Silver Medal in the Independent Publisher Book Awards (Regional Fiction, Europe & Russia) in 2026.

​

Her Will There Be…? series — a connected-standalones universe of modern love stories set across Europe's most storied cities — includes Will There Be Wine? (2023), Will There Be Love? (2025), and Will There Be Time? (expected Fall 2026). Wine draws from her own real-life experience as a 30-something American divorcée navigating French dating; Love and Time are pure fiction set in the same universe. Recurring characters move between books; each can be read as a standalone.

When she's not writing, Whitney can usually be found in a Parisian café, drinking a glass of wine with her friends.
