Hi there, I’m Casey Scieszka, a born and raised Brooklyn girl who turns out to have a soft spot for the country. I’ve lived in places as far flung as Beijing, San Francisco, Fez, and quite literally Timbuktu (which I wrote a book about in 2010 with my now-husband Steven Weinberg).
My novel THE FOUNTAIN just came out with Harper in March. It was a Belletrist Book Club Pick, a Good Housekeeping Book Club Pick, an Amazon Editor’s Pick, and a Most Anticipated Book from the Boston Globe, Barnes & Noble, Literary Hub, BookRiot, Goodreads, and Town & Country.
I’ve got 3 events coming up, maybe I’ll see ya at one of ‘em?
Sat, Aug 8th 3pm at West Kill Brewing: Catskills Book Festival // The Long Way Home: Can you ever really go home again? With Isaac Fitzgerald
Sat, Aug 16th 2pm at Woodstock Library: Book Talk & Signing with Sophie Strand for the Golden Notebook
Sun, Aug 30th 2pm at Kinderhook Books: Rough Notes Festival // A Place For Work: Spaces, Communities, and Audiences that Make Creative Work Possible discussion with Olivia Muenter
Wanna have me drop into your book club in person or via Zoom? I’d love to! Just fill out this form here.
I have another novel forthcoming with Harper in 2028 called FUTURE YOU.
In 2013 I moved to the mountains and opened the Spruceton Inn: a Catskills Bed & Bar and have been running the show there ever since. I love chatting up guests at the itty-bitty bar and hosting our annual Artist Residency. Reservations are now open for this summer and fall!
For queries about the Inn, drop me a line here. Everything and anything else, email me here. I’m repped by Ali Lake at O’Connor Literary Agency.
