AAPI ( Asian American and Pacific Islander) Westport Presents: Karina Yan Glaser
In celebration of Asian American and Pacific Islander Heritage Month, AAPI Westport and The Westport Library are proud to welcome New York Times bestselling author of The Vanderbeekers! and A Duet for Home, Karina Yan Glaser.
In this all ages event, Karina will present "What Do You Need to be a Writer?" and talk about her experience as an Asian American author and how that has influenced her work. A book signing will follow.
Originally from California, Karina came to New York City for college and has stuck around for over 20 years. She 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. She lives in Harlem with her husband, two teenagers, one dog, and three cats.
Karina is a contributing editor at Book Riot, the largest independent book media company in North America, where she writes the weekly The Kids Are All Right newsletter.
