Jaclyn Crupi

Jaclyn Crupi is the author of Nonna Knows Best, Garden Like a Nonno and Pasta Love — books that celebrate Italian food traditions, intergenerational wisdom and the stories passed down around the family table. She is the quintessential bookish friend that everyone needs in their writing corner.

As an author, editor, bookseller, reviewer and writing prize judge, there are very few people as qualified in the country to talk about books. We are thrilled to have Jaclyn travel to our Festival of Stories to share her infectious love of reading and writing and to guide our authors to unpack their craft and passion for the written word.

Jaclyn joins us as event moderator for the Book Lovers’ Lunch on Saturday, the Shared Table Lunch on Sunday, and several other Festival events.
