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?
Thurs, Aug 27th 5pm at the Morton Memorial Library in Pine Hill: Monthly Book Club meeting, all are welcome!
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
Sat, Sept 2pm at Spencertown Academy Festival of Books // In convo with fellow debut author Jessica Berger Gross and award-winning author and journalist Gayle Forman talking the before-and-after of traumatic events, the cost of speaking out, family dynamics and being an outsider in a new community.
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.
