Bethany Joy Lenz became a New York Times Bestselling Author in 2024 with her memoir, Dinner for Vampires, which was also featured in both VOGUE and TIME magazine’s Top 100 of the year, the cover of PEOPLE, in Vanity Fair, Variety, New York Magazine. The memoir also made the “Best of 2024” list for Audible, Amazon, and Barnes & Noble, as well as being chosen for Book of the Month club and a sit down interview with Alex Cooper on Call Her Daddy.

Lenz is an award-winning actress, director, executive producer, singer, composer, fine artist and author best known as a lead actor in the CW’s One Tree Hill, filmed in Wilmington, North Carolina where Lenz became a resident for a decade. She also has a meaningful connection with Asheville and Biltmore Estate where she lived while filming her Hallmark/Netflix runaway hit A Biltmore Christmas. Her wardrobe and other memorabilia from the film is currently on display around the estate.

She co-hosts a chart topping podcast on iHeart Radio called Drama Queens–lauded by the New York Times, Forbes, The Hollywood Reporter, Interview Magazine, and more. The podcast began addressing collective #MeToo experiences and promotes healing through female friendship. Generations of American women (14-18 & 25-45) are showing up in droves to engage and re-engage with Lenz and her co-hosts. In her 25 year career, Lenz has established herself as a strong role model for women and girls.

Her latest project is MODERN VINTAGE NEWS, an artistic broadsheet newspaper aimed to be a refuge from the digital noise and remind us how to critically think, listen, and learn.
