Writing from Life and Finding Humor in the Drama

At 6:00 PM on Thursday, December 19th, the Vineyard Haven Library welcomes novelists Kate Feiffer and Marion McNabb for a conversation about writing contemporary fiction, finding humor in the drama, and getting published. 

Kate Feiffer is the author of eleven highly acclaimed books for children, including Henry the Dog with No Tail and Double Pink. Morning Pages, her first novel for adults, was published in 2024 and was called a “winning adult debut” by Publisher’s Weekly. Kate is also an artist and the illustrator of the poetry/parody The Lamb Cycle. Kate has been the event producer for the annual Martha's Vineyard-based writers' festival Islanders Write since its inception in 2014. Her writing and illustrations have appeared in newspapers and magazines on Martha's Vineyard, on HNN and NPR, and in Literary Hub. 

Marion McNabb is a novelist and screenwriter who studied film at the Tisch School at NYU and graduated from Arizona State with a degree in Theater. Her debut novel, Some Doubt About It (Lake Union) was selected by Friends and Fiction as a noteworthy debut, and was described by Booklist as, “going beyond empty platitudes to offer some real philosophical depth." 

This event will be held on the upper level of the library, with refreshments provided by the Friends of the Library. For more information, please contact the library at (508) 696-4211 or send an email to vhpl_programs@clamsnet.org.
