Speaker
Joy Lanzendorfer
 
Topic
"Writing A Historical Family Saga”
 
Released by Blackstone Publishing in May 2021 this Bay Area writer’s debut novel, Right Back Where We Started From, is described as a sweeping, multigenerational tale that explores the lust for ambition that entered into the American consciousness and how it affected our nation's ideas of success, failure, and the pursuit of happiness.

Joy delivered a riveting keynote speech at the prestigious Southern California Writers’ Conference earlier in the year. She will discuss her long journey of writing such a poignant exploration as told through the eyes of a bold, young heroine pulled into her family’s history through California’s formative years.
