Nicole Zelniker in Conversation with Mazey Eddings

Join us for an event with author Nicole Zelniker, who will talk about her debut young adult novel with fellow author Mazey Eddings.

Told in journal entries, All I Know So Far is a queer coming of age story about love, hope, and resilience. 

Of course Avery Marsh's parents decide to divorce her senior year of high school, but what's way worse, they're shipping Avery across the country to spend the year with her extremely closeted, absentee half-brother Lucas and his secret boyfriend. And it's great that Lucas is living his truth or whatever, but he couldn't have told his bisexual, nonbinary sibling earlier? Now Avery has to spend their last year of school in Middle-of-Nowhere, Virginia, navigating new classes, explaining their pronouns to the cute boy in math class, and making new friends.

Nicole Zelniker (she/they) is the author of several books, including From Where We Are, which is a Pushcart Prize nominee, and Until We Fall, which was a finalist for the Forward Indie Awards in LGBTQ+ adult fiction. She’s also the founder and editor-in-chief of the literary magazine Knee Brace Press, a lit mag featuring work about chronic illness, disability, mental health, and neurodivergence. nicolezelniker.com

Mazey Eddings is a bestselling author, dentist, and (most importantly) stage mom to her cats, Yaya and Zadie. Her most recent book is Late Bloomer, a sapphic, opposites-attract romance set in Asheville. She's made it her personal mission in life to destigmatize mental health issues and write love stories for every brain. With roots in Ohio and Philadelphia, Mazey now calls North Carolina home. mazeyeddings.com
