Wordsmith and Wonder: A Virtual Author Talk with Jodi Picoult

Wordsmith and Wonder: An Author Talk with Jodi Picoult

Join us as we chat with the New York Times bestselling author Jodi Picoult about her newest novel By Any Other Name. In 1581, Emilia Bassano has no voice of her own. But as the Lord Chamberlain’s mistress, she has access to all theaters in England and finds a way to bring her work to the stage in secret. And yet, creating some of the world’s greatest dramatic masterpieces comes at great cost – by paying a man for the use of his name, she will write her own out of history. In the present, playwright Will Melina—like Emilia—be willing to forfeit her credit as author for a chance to see her work performed? Told in intertwining narratives, By Any Other Name is a tale of ambition, courage and desire that asks what price each woman is willing to pay to see their work live on, even if it means they will be forgotten. 

Jodi Picoult is the #1 New York Times bestselling author of 29 novels, including Mad Honey (co-authored with Jennifer Finney Boylan), Wish You Were Here, The Book of Two Ways, A Spark of Light, Small Great Things, Leaving Time and My Sister’s Keeper.  She lives in New Hampshire with her husband.
