Keynote speaker: Liz Welch

Liz Welch is an award-winning journalist and the author of The Kids Are All Right, (Harmony, 2009) a memoir she co-wrote with her siblings about losing both parents—and being separated as a result of that loss–at a young age.  It won a 2010 ALEX Award from the American Library Association and was one of Salon’s best books of 2009.  I Will Always Write Back, (Little Brown, 2015) her second book and a New York Times best seller, is about the long distance and life changing relationship between two pen pals, one from Hatfield, Pennsylvania, the other from Mutare, Zimbabwe.  

She is currently working on two books—one about refugees, the other about a young Kazakh Eagle Huntress from Mongolia—both to be published in 2019 by Little Brown. 

She lives in Brooklyn with her husband and their 7-year-old daughter.
