Authors at ALA Midwinter

Norton, Liveright and Pegasus Books will all have authors in our booth and at events at ALA Midwinter!  It’s going to be an author-palooza.

Mark Kurlansky, bestselling author of Cod, Salt, and the forthcoming Paper, will be on the Booklist Author Forum on Friday, 4pm-5:15pm, with a signing to follow.

Nicole Dennis-Benn, debut author of Here Comes the Sun, about a family of women in Jamaica, will sign ARCs in our booth (1954) on Friday at 6:00pm.

Andre Dubus III will join Nancy Pearl for a wide-ranging conversation on Saturday at 1:00pm - 2:00pm in the Auditorium Speaker Series with a signing to follow.

Alison Case will sign copies of Nelly Dean: A Return to Wuthering Heights (Pegasus Books) in the Norton booth (1954) on Saturday at 2:00pm.  This book has received a starred Library Journal review, and it comes out in February so you could nominate it for LibraryReads by 12/20 if you so desire.

Lawrence Hill, author of Someone Knows My Name (aka The Book of Negroes) will sign ARCs of The Illegal, his new fast-paced novel that Booklist calls a “deeply satisfying story shot through with humor and humanity” in our booth (1954) on Sunday at 2pm.  Lawrence Hill will also join Chris Cleave, Simon van Booy, Helen Simonson & more at the AAP/LibraryReads BookTalk Breakfast on Monday morning.  RSVP required. 

Liz Moore, author of one of my favorites, Heft, and the forthcoming The Unseen World (which I loved!) will join Janice Y. K. Lee, Jennifer Haigh, Val McDermid and more at the United for Libraries Gala Author Tea on Monday at 2pm.  Tickets are required.
