Meet Baley Noal

Your new author bestie...

The deets

Baley Noal is a PNW native who writes gritty contemporary romance. She’s all about those Lifetime over Hallmark vibes with her books.

All her novels are PNW-coded, include besties that’ll make you feel like you’re part of the crew, open door swoony spice, banter that hits, dogs with MC energy, and of course, a happily ever after.

Currently, she has her Starstruck duology (Starstruck and Starstruck: The Trials) and Grit City. Follow along though, her fourth novel, Clandestiny, is dropping in February!

Let's read!

Slide into those DMs...

Baley Noal

Hi, I'm Baley!! I'm a born and raised, Pacific Northwest native who takes pride in my distinguished title of Dog Mom, I kill it at party and event planning, I'm an above average (probably) home DIYer, beloved member of the elite Auntie club, and all while putting in my 40 hours a week as a full-fledged adult. While not a professionally trained writer, or a recipient of any degree related to literature, I take joy in providing fun, relatable, useful, and at times, wildly inappropriate content. Just here trying to sprinkle a little sunshine to make life more enjoyable. I would be absolutely HONORED to have you as a reader!!

Writing Journey

From her early days of scribbling stories in notebooks to becoming a published author...

2010

The Spark of Inspiration

Baley started writing for fun in 2010 in shared Google Docs with her friend, mostly as a creative outlet that might someday lead to more. Those stories fizzled out, but she never stopped writing, and eventually Starstruck became a new draft...

2024

First Published Works

In early 2024, Baley published a couple Vocational Venting workbooks to laugh with your coworkers, and the Maid of Honor Manual to help other MoH's navigate wedding planning and helping their bride besties.
