Author Caroline Preston will discuss how she created a graphic novel The Scrapbook of Frankie Pratt and marketed it through social media and bloggers. This novel was on the list of best historical novels of 2011 by Kirkus reviews and the Boston Globe said "... its vintage graphics and sweet, sincere storytelling make it a pure pleasure."

Preston is the author of three previous novels: Jackie by Josie, Gatsby’s Girl , and Lucy Crocker 2.0

Books available for purchase and signing.  Free and open to the public.

Members are saying...

“WriterHouse has such a strong community, but also open and friendly one - the welcome was warm and immediate. It's just wonderful to find a group of like-minded individuals struggling with the same problems, sharing their triumphs. The writing space has a definite feeling of calm and strength — quiet, but not weak. And if I get stuck, I can always find someone in the kitchen, fighting with a similar problem, and the solidarity alone is often enough to get me through.” —SRV
