Authors in Chelsea is back for its 16th year! Chelsea District Library welcomes Sarah Dillard, Karina Yan Glaser, and Jennifer A. Nielsen to a two-day event celebrating the power of writing. The authors will visit Chelsea School District classrooms and convene for a special evening event that is open to the public.
An Evening with the Authors

This event will include talks and presentations from all three nationally recognized authors. Guests will have a chance to ask questions and purchase books to be signed (courtesy of Serendipity Books). Have you ever wondered what the writing process is like for a published author? How do they develop characters and setting? What’s it like writing for young children, versus tweens and adults? An Evening with the Authors is your chance to find out! Come ready with your questions about reading and writing for this very special community event! Read on to learn about this year’s lineup.

Karina Yan Glaser will visit with students in grades 3–5 at South Meadows Elementary School. Karina is the author of the New York Times bestselling series The Vanderbeekers, which features a family of five children and their parents living in a classic brownstone in Harlem. Her books have received numerous state book awards and have been included as Junior Library Guild selections, amongst many other distinctions. Ms. Glaser has had a varied career teaching and implementing literacy programs in family homeless shelters and recruiting healthcare professionals to volunteer in under-resourced areas around the world. Now as a mother, one of her proudest achievements is raising two kids who can’t go anywhere without a book.
