With over 200,000 followers, Susan Orlean has earned her name as the Queen of Twitter. Orlean will talk about the pros and cons of social media for new and emerging writers, share behind-the-scenes stories, and then take questions. A book signing will follow.

Susan Orlean is a New Yorker staff writer and the author of several acclaimed books, including the best selling Orchid Thief, which was made into the film “Adaptation.” Her article “Life’s Swell” was the basis for the film “Blue Crush.” A prolific journalist, Susan has written for and worked for countless publications, including two local favorites, The Boston Globe and the Boston Phoenix. Her most recent book, Rin Tin Tin: The Life and the Legend, traces the life of the canine star from his humble roots in Europe through international stardom.
