The two talk about the complexities of women's health issues, historical authenticity, and marital relationships.

Author Kerri Maher tackles a very specific nest – the Jane Collective -- an underground group of women before Roe v. Wade that worked to help women when the law was working against them. Set in 1970s Chicago, the book rings particularly timely after the 2022 Dobbs Decision.

Katie and Allie talk with Kerri Maher about her novel All You Have to Do Is Call
Just over a year ago people had a constitutional right to abortion in this country – a right that had been in effect for almost 50 years, until June 24, 2022 when that right was taken away. But this isn't a new chapter in our American history and just as people are fighting to get that right back today, so were a secret group of women back in the 1970s.
Kerri Maher, author of The Paris Bookseller, shares her one true sentence from Hemingway's A Moveable Feast.

Thought-Provoking Quotes: “It's amazing how much I learned about writing fiction from writing the truth.” - Kerri Maher “I spent a lot of time in the research stage of that novel feeling inadequate. Who am I to write about these people? I'm just some housewife with five unpublished novels in my attic. And two writer friends from very different parts of my writing life responded to that comment in almost exactly the same way. They were like, ‘but Kerri, this is your novel, isn't it? I was and that was very liberating to me.” - Kerri Maher “I've really had to embrace representing real people and real time periods. Yes,I want to absolutely do right by them. I want to kind of represent the truth of their essence.. But I also have to cop to the fact and respect the fact that these are my versions of these people.” - Kerri Maher Kerri's Links Kerri's website Kerri's Instagram Kerri's Facebook Kerri's Twitter Books & Resources Mentioned in This Episode The Kennedy Debutante book by Kerri Maher The Girl in White Gloves book by Kerri Maher All You Have to Do Is Call book by Kerri Maher The Paris Wife book by Paula McClain A Moveable Feast book by Ernest Hemingway Ulysses book by James Joyce Tomorrow and Tomorrow and Tomorrow book by Gabrielle Zevin The House of Eve book by Sadeqa Johnson The Midnight Library by Matt Haig Connect with Jen!

My guest this week is Kerri Maher, whose latest work of historical fiction, The Paris Bookseller, spent four weeks on the Indie Bestseller List and was just named a USA Today Bestseller. After having written about Kathleen “Kick” Kennedy and Grace Kelly, surprisingly it was The Paris Bookseller's Sylvia Beach that Kerri was most intimidated to write about. Although, as founder of the original Shakespeare and Company, close friend of Ernest Hemingway, and influential supporter of James Joyce, perhaps it's not hard to see why. In our conversation, Kerri shares what drew her to Sylvia Beach, what surprised her about James Joyce, how both the love affair with Adrienne Monnier and censorship of “obscene” materials shaped Sylvia's life, and so much more. Then, she treats us to a reading from The Paris Bookseller.kerrimaher.comhttps://www.instagram.com/kerrimaherwriter/https://www.facebook.com/kerrimaherwriterhttps://twitter.com/kerrimaherbookshttps://www.wellesleybooks.comJoin our Book Club: patreon.com/parisundergroundradioFind Us OnlineWebsite: https://www.parisundergroundradio.com/storytimeinparisFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/parisundergroundradioInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/parisundergroundradio/CreditsHost and Producer: Jennifer Geraghty.

Chatter rolls into groundhog day with David, Torie and Jamie. They discuss football (another good weekend), kind reviews and best sellers by city. The Paris Bookseller author Kerri Maher shares her take on Sylvia Beach, legendary owner of Shakespeare and Company and publisher of Ulysses. It's about epic literary friendships and the tremendous risks Beach took by publishing James Joyce's banned novel. The personal, professional, and literary impacts are huge.
When Sylvia Beach opens an English-language bookshop on the bohemian Left Bank, Sylvia cannot know she is making literary history. Shakespeare and Company soon becomes the meeting place for emerging writers and a second home for the American Lost Generation living in Paris. Ernest Hemingway, Gertrude Stein and Ezra Pound are frequent visitors and profound friendships blossom within the welcoming and tolerant atmosphere of this unique bookstore. None more so than that between James Joyce and Sylvia Beach. When Joyce's controversial novel Ulysses is banned, Beach takes on the task of publishing the most infamous book of the century but at deep personal cost. In this episode Gregory Dobbs chats to Kerri Maher about the real Sylvia Beach, walking the line between fact and fiction, and finding the real people behind the towering literary legacy of some of the greatest writers of the 20th century.

We are so happy to speak with Kerri Maher, author of The Paris Bookseller. Based on the life of Sylvia Beach—bookseller, publisher and entrepreneur—this novel brings 1920s Paris to life in the most gorgeous, delicious ways. If you've been looking for a work that's both escapist (the food! The love story! The writers!!) and will also feel like (easy, fun) learning, this is the book for you. Fans of Joyce, Stein, Pound, Hemingway, and (many!) more will be pleased to see these familiar faces come to life on the pages of her book. We discuss everything from vivid descriptions with small word count, to the many “apprentice” novels Kerri will never publish, to the politics of publishing then and now. Kerri says: My first novel, The Kennedy Debutante, came out in 2018, and my second in 2020: The Girl In White Gloves: A Novel of Grace Kelly. My third, The Paris Bookseller, about trailblazing entrepreneur Sylvia Beach and the original Shakespeare and Company bookstore in Paris, is coming in early 2022. I'll also have another historical novel coming your way from Berkley in 2023, a fact that makes me feel incredibly lucky and grateful after spending so many years (and years!) writing and working on the craft. If you want to know more about those years, check out my memoir This Is Not a Writing Manual: Notes for the Young Writer in the Real World (Writer's Digest Books) under the name Kerri Majors.

Charlie starts off the new year talking with historical novelist Kerri Maher about her new novel The Paris Bookseller, a fascinating and moving account of Sylvia Beach and her famous store Shakespeare and Company. They discuss Beach's publication of Ulysses by James Joyce, the place of expatriates like Ernest Hemingway in 1920s Paris, the role of bookstores in society and much more.
The dramatic story of how a humble bookseller fought against incredible odds to bring one of the most important books of the 20th century to the world in this new novel from the author of The Girl in White Gloves. When bookish young American Sylvia Beach opens Shakespeare and Company on a quiet street in Paris in 1919, she has no idea that she and her new bookstore will change the course of literature itself. Shakespeare and Company is more than a bookstore and lending library: Many of the prominent writers of the Lost Generation, like Ernest Hemingway, consider it a second home. It's where some of the most important literary friendships of the twentieth century are forged—none more so than the one between Irish writer James Joyce and Sylvia herself. When Joyce's controversial novel Ulysses is banned, Beach takes a massive risk and publishes it under the auspices of Shakespeare and Company. But the success and notoriety of publishing the most infamous and influential book of the century comes with steep costs. The future of her beloved store itself is threatened when Ulysses' success brings other publishers to woo Joyce away. Her most cherished relationships are put to the test as Paris is plunged deeper into the Depression and many expatriate friends return to America. As she faces painful personal and financial crises, Sylvia—a woman who has made it her mission to honor the life-changing impact of books—must decide what Shakespeare and Company truly means to her.Buy the book: https://www.wellingtonsquarebooks.com/book/9780593102183
In today's Books with Hooks, Carly and CeCe are kicking it back to the old format in which they look at the same three queries together. They discuss how important it is to show that there's enough plot and escalation to merit a whole novel when writing a query; the pitfall of using the term "crossover"; being mindful of when your book is coming off as quiet or too interior to the protagonist; avoiding a recap beginning, where you give too much background info, like a recap on a show; looking out for redundancies during the polishing phase; the difference between telling the reader something versus making the reader FEEL something; and how it isn't enough to just paint a picture - the picture needs to feel real.After which Bianca chats with Kerri Maher, author of The Paris Bookseller, about fictionalizing real people (including the potential pitfalls and how to do it in a meaningful way); the social contract involved in writing/reading historical fiction; how to quiet the doubtful voice when writing, granting yourself permission to write a particular story; and how to frame novels that span a significant period of time.Find us on our socials: Twitter: @SNOTYAW @BiancaM_author @carlywatters @ceciliaclyra Instagram: @biancamarais_author @carlywatters @cece_lyra_agent @ the_shit_about_writingFacebook: @tsnotyawWebsite: www.biancamarais.comKerri Maher on Instagram: @kerrimaherwriter and on Twitter: @kerrimaherbooks

The captivating story of a trailblazing young woman who fought against incredible odds to bring one of the most important books of the twentieth century to the world. For listeners of The Paris Library, The Age of Light and The Paris Wife. PARIS, 1919. Young, bookish Sylvia Beach knows there is no greater city in the world than Paris. But when she opens an English-language bookshop on the bohemian Left Bank, Sylvia can't yet know she is making history. Many leading writers of the day, from Ernest Hemingway to Gertrude Stein, consider Shakespeare and Company a second home. Here some of the most profound literary friendships blossom - and none more so than between James Joyce and Sylvia herself. When Joyce's controversial novel Ulysses is banned, Sylvia determines to publish it through Shakespeare and Company. But the success and notoriety of publishing the most infamous book of the century comes at deep personal cost as Sylvia risks ruin, reputation and her heart in the name of the life-changing power of books....
Do you judge a book by its cover? Well.. let's face it, most of us do. And that's probably alright. Today we will go behind the scenes of Book Cover Design. How does one capture the essence of a book in just one beautiful image? Where do you even start? And how does the entire process unfold? These are some of the questions I'll be asking my two guests. As with most jobs in the book industry, there's a certain romance associated with book cover design. For many, this sounds like a designer's dream job.. although very few people do book cover design full time for a living. Wherever you stand on the future of the book – bound to become a digital object, or on the contrary, a forever physical, tactile part of our cultural life – we can safely say that we are now in a golden age of book design. Step into a bookshop and you'll soon find yourself surrounded by beautiful design, from the very abstract to sharp photography. Trends in book design have ebbed and flowed over the years, with simplistic design principles becoming more pronounced in recent years. That could be because many readers now discover books online, so the book covers are designed with this in mind. There is however still book cover art made the old school way, by painters.. with actual colours and canvases. Some digital magic is then sprinkled on top to bring us the final design. Today my guests are two quite different artists. My first guests is Terry Miura. Terry began his career in the 90s in NYC as a freelance illustrator, creating imagery for such clients as Time, Newsweek, Rollingstone, and Sports Illustrated. In between illustration assignments he painted and exhibited cityscapes, and continued his transition to becoming a full time painter after returning to the West Coast in 1996. He has recently designed the book cover for The Paris Bookseller, by Kerri Maher, the story of Shakespeare and Company's founder and one of the most famous booksellers of all time, Sylvia Beach. This book cover is also a painting, now owned by the book's author. (Here's Terry's website https://www.terrymiura.com/) My second guest today is Darya Solomenko, a Dublin based graphic designer & illustrator, who also happens to be an old friend and former colleague of mine. She recently designed two books - Dima Golik's "I just am.", a poetry collection, and Olga Polyakova's "What, Was It Possible?", a book about building a career from the perspective of an immigrant. Darya has kindly agreed to come on Got Books to tell us all about her creative process.
