October 23, 6–8 p.m at Joy Nest in Newburyport Cash bar & snacks Tickets: $30 or $60 with signed book All proceeds benefit the Newburyport Literary Association and the Newburyport Literary Festival. Meg Mitchell Moore is the national bestselling author of nine novels and a proud member of the Festival programming committee. Her ninth novel, Mansion Beach, was released in May 2025. She is not a Newburyport native, but she likes to pretend she is, as she’s lived in Newburyport longer than she’s ever lived anywhere else. She enjoys all the North Shore has to offer with her husband, three daughters, and two golden retrievers. Holly Robinson is a novelist, journalist, and ghostwriter. Under her own name, she has published a memoir and five novels with Penguin Random House, and as a ghostwriter, she has published fourteen works of nonfiction with major publishers.
