# Event Details

- **Event Name**: Shorewood Reads Presents: Becoming A Writer Later In Life
- **Event Start and End Date**: Thu, 23 Apr, 2026 at 10:00 am
- **Event Description**: Join us for the kickoff of a day of events with New York Times bestselling author Angie Kim, author of the 2026 Shorewood Reads selection Happiness Falls. 

Angie Kim published her debut novel, Miracle Creek, the week she turned fifty, and it went on to win numerous awards (including the Edgar Award). It was translated into twenty languages and became one of Time’s 100 best mysteries and thrillers of all time. Four years later, she published her second novel, Happiness Falls, which became an instant New York Times bestseller, winner of the Virginia Literary Award, Oprah Daily’s #1 novel of 2023, and book club pick for Good Morning America and Barnes & Noble, among others.

In this talk, Angie will tell us how, starting in her forties and after four other wildly divergent career paths (lawyer, management consultant, dot-com entrepreneur, and stay-at-home mother), she’s built a highly successful writing career. She’ll share how she learned to write fiction through local and online workshops, how she built a community of supportive writing friends, how she queried and found an agent, and how she managed (and sometimes failed) to balance the business of publishing and the intensity of writing with raising kids. Angie’s talk will blend practical advice and inspiring stories, and will include a frank AMA (ask me anything) Q&A session.
