The Joys of Research with Bestselling Author Kerri Maher

Have you ever wondered how to integrate “truth” into your fiction? Do you love to read historical fiction and wonder if you could write it yourself? Do you have an idea for a novel that requires research, and you don’t know where to start? This workshop with bestselling historical novelist Kerri Maher is for you! She loves research as much as she loves writing, and she’s designed a workshop for writers at all stages of their journey to seamlessly implement facts into their fiction. About Kerri Maher: My first novel, The Kennedy Debutante, came out in 2018, and my second in 2020: The Girl In White Gloves: A Novel of Grace Kelly. My third, The Paris Bookseller, about trailblazing entrepreneur Sylvia Beach and the original Shakespeare and Company bookstore in Paris, came out this year. I’m proud to say it spent four weeks on the Indie Bestseller List, and got some great buzz! I’ll also have another historical novel coming your way from Berkley in 2023, a fact that makes me feel incredibly lucky and grateful after spending so many years (and years!) writing and working on the craft. If you want to know more about those years, check out my memoir This Is Not a Writing Manual: Notes for the Young Writer in the Real World (Writer’s Digest Books) under the name Kerri Majors. I am also the founder of an award-winning journal of YA literature, YARN. I’ve lived on both coasts, and currently call Massachusetts home. I live near Boston, and love all the museums and long, leafy walks this part of the world provides, but if you ask me where I’m from, I’ll always say California. Here’s a bit more information about me, but really—if you want to know more, the best place to look is my book, This is Not a Writing Manual, since it’s a memoir of my writing life, starting in middle school. There are loads of stories in there about me and writing, like how much I learned from eavesdropping and watching soap operas, how I was inspired by SARK and Dead Poets Society, and how I used to hate my writer friends who were more successful that I was (don’t worry, I learned to get over that—and myself). Of course I tell you how I came to get published, and start YARN, my award-winning YA literary journal. This program is made possible by the generous donors to the Cary Library Foundation.
