Every Great Fire Begins with a Tiny Spark: From Inspiration to Publication of the Historical Novel Daughters of Nantucket
August 7 @ 6:30 pm - 8:30 pm
Join us for a talk with Julie Gerstenblatt, author of the novel Daughters of Nantucket! While Julie Gerstenblatt has been writing in various forms for years, Daughters of Nantucket marks her debut as a traditionally published author at 52 years old. Gerstenblatt will explain how she took the seed of an idea from history and developed it into a novel. She will discuss her writing process and the creation of her characters, and touch on the novel’s structure while highlighting some of the research involved. The talk will be followed by an audience Q&A and book signing. No registration required.
