BOOKLAB

Booklab is a literary salon in Boston that invites writers into a private living room to read and discuss their work. The writers range from debut authors to established stars of fiction, nonfiction and poetry. Kathleen and a friend hosted the salon for ten years, featuring the individuals and books shown below. Currently on hiatus, Booklab hopes to reemerge in the post-pandemic world.
