Laurie Frankel lives in Seattle with her husband, her three-year-old son, her border collie, and many, many books. She's an East coaster originally, a fact people often guess before she's even opened her mouth. Her second novel, Goodbye For Now, comes out August 7, 2012 in the U.S.  The film has been optioned and translation rights have sold in 27 territories. Laurie was just named one of ten women to watch in 2012. She is a proud core member of the Seattle7Writers. Her first novel, The Atlas of Love, came out in August 2010, so August seems to be her month. Until last June, she was teaching writing, literature, and gender studies at the college level. Now she is thrilled, honored, grateful, and occasionally terrified to be writing full-time. It's quite something.

Laurie Frankel recommends

Libby Lost and Found (2024)
Stephanie Booth
"Libby Lost and Found is a story upon a story upon a story, all delightful. One by one, Stephanie Booth's characters are funny, complicated, endearing, and relatable, but then they come together and make magic. This is a book for those of us lucky enough to have ever really, truly fallen in love with one."

Grown Women (2024)
Sarai Johnson
"GROWN WOMEN is beautifully written, compassionately told, and deeply explored, but the word I'll be using to recommend it to everyone is 'complicated.' These characters are messy, difficult, and capricious and also passionate, devoted, and smart as hell. Sarai Johnson's debut novel covers a lot of the rockiest of ground, all of it thoughtful and impressive and, in the end, the reason we read."

A Wild and Heavenly Place (2024)
Robin Oliveira
"A fascinating history too seldom told. Robin Oliveira's words have changed the way I see home, what came before, and what has been here all along."
