In Conversation with Pulitzer Prize Winning Journalist Jodi Kantor

New Canaan Library is pleased to welcome Pulitzer-Prize winning journalist Jodi Kantor to present How to Start, a practical and inspiring guide helping young people discover and launch their life’s work.

Kantor, co-author of She Said chronicling her groundbreaking reporting on the Harvey Weinstein story, has toppled media magnates, sparked reform worldwide, and foretold many of the unsettling changes we see in the workplace today.

Work is how we spend much of our time. It’s our engine of progress: how cancer therapies are invented, political campaigns won, thrilling art created and matched with an audience. In new release How To Start, Kantor identifies key principles to help young people discover their life’s work.
 

Elm Street Books will be on site selling copies of How to Start. Jodi Kantor will sign books following the event.
