Sarah Jessica Parker is an award-winning actor, producer, and businesswoman who has garnered four Golden Globe Awards, three Screen Actors Guild Awards, and two Emmy Awards.
She is executive producer of the documentary, The Librarians, which premiered at the 2025 Sundance Film Festival. Directed by Kim A. Snyder, the documentary highlights librarians across the country who have been fighting against book bans. They have been standing up to the ideology that prevents children from having access to certain books and have put their lives and their families’ lives at risk as a result.
In June 2023, Parker launched SJP Lit, her own imprint in partnership with independent publisher Zando, where she publishes thought-provoking, big-hearted stories inclusive of international and underrepresented voices. Recent titles include They Dream in Gold by Mai Sennaar, Alina Grabowski’s Women and Children First, Elysha Chang’s A Quitter’s Paradise, and Coleman Hill written by Kim Coleman Foote.
Prior to this, Parker served as Editorial Director of the literary imprint SJP for Hogarth, publishing the New York Times bestseller A Place For Us by Fatima Farheen Mirza, winner of the Desmond Elliott Prize; Golden Child by Claire Adam; and Dawn, the critically acclaimed story collection by the jailed Turkish politician and human rights lawyer Selahattin Demirtas.

She was recently appointed to the panel as a judge for the prestigious British literary award, the Booker Prize in 2025.
Parker next stars in the highly anticipated third season of HBO’s television series And Just Like That. The show is a sequel to the critically acclaimed television series Sex and the City (1998-2004), in which she starred and served as an executive producer. Parker reprised her role as Carrie Bradshaw and served as a producer for the screen adaptation of the hit series with the theatrical release of Sex and the City and Sex and the City 2.
