Isabel Banta

Isabel Banta is a debut novelist based in Brooklyn.

Her first book, Honey, draws inspiration from the 90s and early 2000s pop music scene, exploring themes of fame, exploitation, and coming-of-age.

Banta's background as a book publicist and indie bookseller likely influenced her writing, providing insight into the publishing industry.

Her work has been compared to that of Taylor Jenkins Reid, particularly in its exploration of fictional celebrities.

Graduating from the University of Virginia, Banta brings a fresh voice to the literary scene, blending nostalgia with contemporary themes in her storytelling.
