Writers on Writing: Lauren Groff and Rebecca Makkai

On October 4, 2023, New York Times bestselling authors Lauren Groff (The Vaster Wilds, Fates and Furies, Matrix) and Rebecca Makkai (I Have Some Questions for You, The Great Believers) visited the Newberry as part of our Writers on Writing series to discuss Groff’s career as a novelist and short story writer, with a focus on the craft of writing.
Writers on Writing is presented in partnership with StoryStudio Chicago (www.storystudiochicago.org/). Perfect for readers and writers alike, these talks celebrate one author's work-a glimpse behind the creative curtain, a chance to ask questions, and an opportunity to celebrate the art of the written word.
Upcoming Writers on Writing programs:
Thursday, March 21 - Hanif Abdurraqib and Eve L. Ewing
Thursday, May 9 - Jericho Brown and Robyn Schiff
Writers on Writing is generously supported by Shanti Nagarkatti and Sue and Melvin Gray.
Public programs at the Newberry are free and open to all. Visit us online to see a list of upcoming programs, classes, tours, and other Newberry events.
