The Art of the Book: How a novel becomes a work of visual art

November 3, 2023 @ 5:00 pm

Up Up Books

Debut author, Rebekah Anderson, and book designer, Lauren Grosskopf, will discuss the collaborative process of putting together cover art, interiors, fonts, and overall look and feel for a new novel, “The Grand Promise,” that reflect the story’s themes.

“The Grand Promise” is a work of literary fiction about the real communities impacted by the construction of the Grand Coulee Dam on the Columbia River in the 1930s. The novel was called “a thoughtful look” by Kirkus Reviews, “enthralling” by Publishers Weekly, and is a finalist for the 2023 Nancy Pearl Book Award.

The talk between author and designer will be followed by a reading and book signing.
