Since 1995, Alanis Morissette has been one of the most influential singer-songwriter-musicians in contemporary music. Her deeply expressive music and performances have earned vast critical praise and seven Grammy awards. Morissette's 1995 debut, Jagged Little Pill, was followed by nine more eclectic and acclaimed albums. She has contributed musically to theatrical releases and acted on the big and small screen. Outside of entertainment, she is an avid supporter of female empowerment, as well as spiritual, psychological, and physical wellness. In 2016, Morissette launched Conversation with Alanis Morissette, a monthly podcast that features conversations with a variety of revered authors, doctors, educators, and therapists, covering a wide range of psychosocial topics extending from spirituality to developmentalism to art. On December 5, 2019, Jagged Little Pill the musical made its Broadway debut at the Broadhurst Theatre in New York City. The show was nominated for 15 Tony Awards and won two Tony Awards at the 2021 ceremony. In July 2020, Morissette released her ninth studio album, Such Pretty Forks in the Road, to rave reviews. In August 2021, Morissette kicked off her world tour, celebrating 25 years of Jagged Little Pill. Morissette is also a judge on Fox's competition show Alter Ego.

Reviews
"Jagged Little Pill blends the spirit of some of our most beloved musical works into a new anthem: Teens long to be seen, heard, and for their voices to matter. An honest exploration of family and love, of identity and responsibility. Powerful and relevant."--Laura Taylor Namey, New York Times bestselling author of A Cuban Girl's Guide to Tea and Tomorrow
"With Jagged Little Pill, Eric Smith brings the all the audacity, strength and spirit of the original with his own signature blend of compassion and tenderness. This novel turns snapshots to scrapbooks, and makes memories so vivid, they'll feel like your own. A spectacular read."
--Saundra Mitchell, author of The Prom and All the Things We Do in the Dark
"Warm and clever and deeply sincere, Eric Smith's adaptation of Jagged Little Pill is a must-read for fans of the source material but also deeply affecting in its own right. As fresh and familiar as a surprising new cover of a song you know by heart."
--New York Times bestselling author Katie Cotugno
"Like the music that spawned it, Jagged Little Pill is a righteous roar, a vivid and moving chronicle of youthful love, courage, and heartbreak."--Jeff Zentner, Morris Award winning author of The Serpent King
