New York Times best-selling author Joyce Maynard will speak Wednesday Sept. 27, at 7 p.m. in the Daniels Room of the Hancock Town Library, 25 Main St.

Over her 50 -year career, Maynard has published hundreds of essays as well as 18 books, both fiction and non-fiction, including the memoir “At Home in the World” and the novels “To Die For” and “Labor Day,” both adapted for film. Her novel “Count the Ways” was recently awarded the Grand Prix Literaire in France.

Every winter for more than two decades, Maynard has led the Lake Atitlan Memoir workshop, “Write by the Lake,” in Guatemala. Her latest novel, “The Bird Hotel,” was published in May. Books will be available for sale at this event, with a portion of the sales going to the sponsoring libraries. The event is co-sponsored by the GEP Dodge Library in Bennington and the Tuttle Library in Antrim.
