Wondering how to get to that life you really thought you’d be living by now? Finally ready to dig up that buried dream? Still trying to figure out what you want to be when you grow up or just need the perfect little tweak to your existing life?
The Southeastern Writers Association is thrilled to have New York Times bestselling author Claire Cook as an instructor and keynote speaker for the 2024 Southeastern Writers Conference, which marks the 50th anniversary of SWA.
Claire will give the Keynote Address on Saturday, June 8, 2024 at 7 pm, discussing the overarching theme of her 24 books: It’s Never Too Late to Follow Your Dreams. The event will take place at Epworth By The Sea in the Jones Auditorium and is FREE and open to the public. A book signing will follow her talk and books will be available for purchase at the event. Snacks will be served during the book signing.
Claire wrote her first book in her minivan when she was 45. At 50, she walked the red carpet at the Hollywood premiere of the movie adaptation of Must Love Dogs, starring Diane Lane and John Cusack, which is now an 8-book series. Claire is the New York Times, USA Today and international bestselling author of 24 books, fiction and nonfiction, which have been translated into 14 languages.
The Today show has featured Claire as a Today’s Woman, Good Morning America chose one of her books as a summer book pick, and People magazine has featured several of them. The Times-Picayune said, “The exuberant and charming Claire Cook is one of the sassiest and funniest creators of contemporary women’s fiction.”
She has been a finalist and a judge for the Thurber Prize for American Humor and spoken and given keynotes at the Tennessee Williams Literary Festival, Denmark Literary Festival, Cape Cod Writers Conference, California Women’s Conference and the Dress for Success International Conference.
Born in Virginia, Claire Cook lived for many years in a Massachusetts beach town before moving to Saint Simons Island, where her most recent novel Bonus Time is set.
