The Lost Bookshop, 120 Main Street, Delhi, welcomes New York Times bestselling author Lauren Grodstein to Delhi for two events Sunday, Sept. 1 - Labor Day weekend: in the morning, “Workshop Your Book’s First Page,” a class for writers working in all genres. In the evening, Grodstein will read from her latest novel, “We Must Not Think of Ourselves.”
In this conversational workshop, writers will read the first page - or first paragraph or two - of their works in progress for feedback from the group and visiting writer Lauren Grodstein. They will also talk about query letters, synopses, and why that first page matters so much.
New York Times-bestselling novelist Grodstein will read from, “We Must Not Think of Ourselves,” a heart wrenching and intimate novel of defiance set inside the Warsaw Ghetto, inspired by the real-life archives that allowed Jewish Warsaw’s stories to survive World War II.
The writing workshop will be from 9 - 10:30 a.m. and reading from 6 - 7:30 p.m.
There is no charge; RSVP is required for the workshop, and encouraged for the reading. Seats are limited, RSVP at thelostbookshop.com/events
