Have you always wanted to know how to write a best-seller? Craft the script for an award-winning Hollywood movie? Bring down the house at Las Vegas? Create and produce a hit TV show? Have a lucrative career doing what you love? Ben Mezrich has accomplished all these things and many more. Known as the “reigning cowboy of narrative non-fiction,” Mezrich will be at the Brookline High School on October 12 to share some of the secrets of his success.
An Evening with Ben Mezrich: Exploring the Mind of a Literary Rock Star will present Cambridge-based Mezrich, a lively and provocative author, scriptwriter, and adventurer, in conversation with the multi-talented Hank Phillippi Ryan, USA Today bestselling writer of acclaimed mystery novels and Emmy-winning investigative reporter for Boston’s 7News. The event is free and open to the public. Copies of Mezrich’s and Ryan’s books will be available for purchase through the Brookline Booksmith, and both authors will be available to sign their books.
