NRAS Writers Workshop Author Series Welcomes:
Brunonia Barry
Author of The Lace Reader
Date: September 25, 2:00-4:00 pm
Fee: Free
The North River Arts Society Writers Workshop welcomes New York Times Bestselling Author Brunonia Barry to its next Author Series, on Saturday, September 25, 2-4 p.m. at the G.A.R. Hall in Marshfield. The event is free and open to the public.
Barry is well known for her first novel, The Lace Reader, a stirring story set in Salem, Massachusetts. Among writers, the author is renowned for her unconventional route to bestselling status: The Lace Reader was initially self-published, but quickly drew attention from the publishing world and was ultimately purchased by mainstream publisher William Morrow. Her second and latest novel, The Map of True Places, was released on May 4, 2010.
At the Author Series, Barry will give a short writer- and reader-friendly presentation, read from her latest novel, and answer questions from the audience. Time will also be allotted for book-signing.
The Massachusetts native studied literature and creative writing at Green Mountain College in Vermont and at the University of New Hampshire; she also audited classes on James Joyce’s Ulysses at Trinity College in Dublin, Ireland, for one year. Barry is one of the founding members of the Portland Stage Company. For nearly 10 years, she lived in Hollywood, working on scripts under screenwriting guru Robert McKee. More recently, she has written books for Beacon Street Girls, a fictional series for preteen girls. Barry is the first American Writer to win the Woman’s International Fiction Festival’s 2009 Baccante Award, for The Lace Reader.
