Addison Trail hosts New York Times Bestselling author Shelby Van Pelt

On March 19, Addison Trail welcomed author Shelby Van Pelt, whose debut novel, “Remarkably Bright Creatures,” was an instant New York Times Bestseller and a “Read With Jenna” TODAY Show book club pick. In 2023, Van Pelt was awarded the Heartland Prize for Fiction and the McLaughlin-Esstman-Stearns First Novel Prize from The Writer’s Center. 

During her visit, Van Pelt met with students and spoke about the writing process, creative thinking and how she became a professional author. Students also had an opportunity to participate in a question-and-answer session.
