Tombolo Books is thrilled to welcome Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Lane DeGregory to the bookstore to discuss her acclaimed anthology, The Girl in the Window And Other True Tales.

Part anthology and part craft guide, The Girl in the Window And Other True Tales offers something for readers and writers alike.

Lane DeGregory loves true stories, intimate details, and big ideas. In her three-decade career as a journalist, she has published more than 3,000 stories and won the Pulitzer Prize for feature writing. Her acclaimed work in the Tampa Bay Times often takes her to the edges of society, where she paints empathetic portraits of real-life characters.

This book provides a forensic reading of twenty-four of DeGregory’s singular stories, illustrating her tips for writers alongside pieces that put those elements under the microscope. Each of the pieces gathered here—including the Pulitzer Prize–winning title story—is accompanied by notes on how she built the story, plus tips on how nonfiction writers at all levels can do the same.

DeGregory will be joined in conversation by her long-time friend and former editor at the Tampa Bay Times, Maria Carrillo.
