Kerri Maher - Books

Hi! So great to see you on Goodreads - it's such an amazing place for readers and authors to connect.

I live outside of Boston, MA, with my daughter and labradoodle (whose adventures I sometimes post on Instagram, along with many other writing themed posts).

I am the author of THE KENNEDY DEBUTANTE and THE GIRL IN WHITE GLOVES, both of which you can see here. I am working on a novel called THE PARIS BOOKSELLER, about Sylvia Beach's bookstore Shakespeare & Company, which was *the* Paris bookshop and meeting spot for the American Lost Generation. Beach was also the first to publish James Joyce's ULYSSES, after it and been banned in New York in 1921 - it's a great story!

I'm also the author of THIS IS NOT A WRITING MANUAL, under the name Kerri Majors - it's an advice-y memoir for young people who might want to be writers, or live a creative life and it's full of commiseration and practical tips.

What seems like another lifetime ago, I was a professor of writing, and the founder of the award-winning literary journal YARN. I also have an MFA from Columbia University.

Thanks again for stopping by. I hope to see you here and on Instagram. --Kerri
