About the event
Debut Night at Book Society is a celebration of firsts—first books, first pours, and the stories that bring them to life.
Join Kate Crane, Portia Elan, and Eric Scot Tryon as we raise a glass to their debut novels and introduce Book Society’s new house wines, crafted in collaboration with Berkeley-based Broc Cellars.
Throughout the evening, each author will share their journey to publication, offering a behind-the-scenes look at how an idea evolves into a finished book.
