Join Pittsburgh Arts & Lectures for their Words & Pictures series featuring Laurie Halse Anderson, a New York Times bestselling author whose writing spans young readers, teens, and adults. 

Combined, her books have sold more than 8 million copies. Her new book, SHOUT, a memoir-in-verse about surviving sexual assault at the age of thirteen and a call to action for the #MeToo era, has received widespread critical acclaim and was Laurie’s eighth New York Times bestselling book.

Two of her novels, Speak and Chains, were National Book Award finalists, and Chains was short-listed for the prestigious Carnegie medal in the United Kingdom. Laurie has been nominated for Sweden’s Astrid Lindgren Memorial Award three times. Laurie was selected by the American Library Association for the Margaret A. Edwards Award and has been honored for her battles for intellectual freedom by the National Coalition Against Censorship and the National Council of Teachers of English.

Copies of SHOUT and other Laurie Halse Anderson books are available from City of Asylum Bookstore.
