Behind the Books

Our Behind the Books series features well-known authors from Massachusetts, New England and beyond. Our goal is to celebrate an author’s entire body of work. We welcome your suggestions for authors to bring to Wilmington. Ideally, the authors are well established and have published at least four or five books. Does the author you have in mind write books that lend themselves to discussion? Do they have wide appeal? Have they been adapted into films or series? Bring them on!
