Beloved romance author Abby Jimenez is making one thing clear ahead of Hispanic Heritage Month—she does not want to be included on recommendation lists.
The Happy Ever After Playlist author took to social media on Monday, September 7, to explain that she is not actually of Hispanic heritage and Jimenez is her married name.
“This is my annual reminder that I am white, I married a Salvadoran, I am very proud of his heritage but please do not include me on Hispanic rec lists,” she shared. “I do not want to take space from the authors who deserve to be there. Also, you can find me saying this exact thing in articles dating back to 2019.”
Jimenez—who is also known for her appearance on season 4 of Food Network’s Cupcake Wars—added, “For those who don’t know, I was already well known as Abby Jimenez for my appearances on Cupcake Wars and TLC, which is why I chose to write under that name.”
She went on to land on the New York Times best-seller’s list for books like The Night We Met, Say You’ll Remember Me, and Just for the Summer.
“Also, it’s my NAME. Like, legally,” she continued. “I do wish now that I would have used a pen name for privacy and safety, but it never occurred to me that I would end up a famous author at the time and that my name would be so recognizable. My advice? Use a pen name lol.”
According to Jimenez, a few Hispanic authors who deserve readers’ attention are Mia Sosa, Alexis Daria and Adriana Herrara.
Hispanic Heritage Month, which celebrates the history, culture and contributions of Hispanic and Latino Americas, kicks off September 15
