I’ve spent 20 years on both sides of the camera working with the world’s most celebrated celebrities and for fashion industry magazines as a Fashion Correspondent, Series Regular, Host, Judge, Creative Director and Executive Producer on some of the decade’s hottest television shows. I’m most well recognized for my roles as Fashion Correspondent for E! Network and as the Creative Director and Producer of the global phenomenon “America’s Next Top Model.”

I first came up with the idea to write my debut novel in 2014, and like many new writers, I said to myself, “who am I to write a book?” However, the concept and the characters wouldn’t leave my mind. I started writing down story ideas, followed by character studies, and then one day—while on

“This story has been in my heart for a long time. These are human stories that hopefully shift the paradigm about how we think about power, authority and relationships. My book is truly one of fiction, but no one ever writes in a vacuum. We write what we know. As they say, art imitates life, and is often larger than life. Hence, my metafictional work was, of course, inspired by my career in the eccentric Reality TV world. We all know reality television is not real, but what it does provide is a wonderful platform to understand essential themes about identity, in all people.”
Jay Manuel, The Wig, the Bitch & the Meltdown

“If you don’t stand for somethin’ you’ll fall for everything.”
Jay Manuel, The Wig, The Bitch & The Meltdown

“Never tell anyone about all the shit you can do, or they will expect you to do it for free.”

“I clutched my pearls through this page-turning read that’s laugh-out-loud funny—she’s a ki-ki, darling! It’s equally heartbreaking, suspenseful, and always fast-paced. The category is: legendary.”
Billy Porter

“Jay has a singular voice which manages to be indulgent
and gossipy, while still incredibly smart and sharp.”

“We’ve all been joking about who’s going to write King Lear in isolation, but Jay Manuel is actually doing the damn thing. The Wig, The Bitch & The Meltdown, a real missed opportunity to call it America’s Next Top Novel, but I’ll excuse it.”
