Vulture called her “NYC’s most powerful book-fluencer.”
She'll be talking with Foundation Board member Jessica Rao about her new book, Blank – a wife, mother, and frustrated writer faces an impossible deadline for turning her life around – as well as what it means to run what the Los Angeles Times dubbed “the Zibby-verse.”
Zibby Owens is also the bestselling author of Bookends: A Memoir of Love, Loss, and Literature, Princess Charming, and the editor of three anthologies, including the forthcoming On Being Jewish Now. She regularly contributes to “Good Morning America,” Vogue, Oprah Daily, and other outlets.
“Leave it to Zibby Owens to write a novel about a lovable woman single-handedly disrupting the publishing industry. Blank explores marriage, parenting, friendship, and the competitive high jinks of the book trade with the perfect amount of wit and light-touch humor.” ―Annabel Monaghan, author of Nora Goes Off Script and Same Time Next Summer
“Owens clearly understands the publishing industry…. An enjoyable read full of book industry antics and plenty of dramatic surprises.” ―Kirkus Review
“Owens’s depiction of Pippa’s angst feels genuine, especially given the convincingly portrayed demands of marriage and motherhood…” ―Publishers Weekly
TIckets $50 – includes one craft beer, wine or soft drink, delicious snacks, and a copy of the book – while supplies last.
