Amy E. Reichert

If you weren’t able to join us for Reichert’s live event or are interested in watching it again, click below to watch the recording.

This event is being presented in person.

“Write what you know” is a timeless piece of writing advice, which Reichert has taken to heart. She will discuss how setting her novels in Wisconsin offers readers an understanding of her heritage, history, and unique food traditions.

AMY E. REICHERT loves to write stories that end well with characters you’d invite to dinner. All based in Wisconsin, her novels include The Optimist’s Guide to Letting Go, The Kindred Spirits Supper Club, and Once Upon a December (October 2022). Her books have been featured in People, Real Simple, Buzzfeed, Food & Wine, and many more. She serves on her library’s board of directors, is a member of Tall Poppy Writers, and lives in Wisconsin.
