Writing The Body In Memoir: How To Work With What Our Bodies Know
Jasmine Guillory's debut YA book (& birthday celebration)
This event is over, it happened on
October 13, 2026 at Local Economy in Oakland, CA
Jasmine Guillory is Oakland's own best-selling romance novelist. Since leaving her career as a lawyer, she's written nine novels with a memorable array of diverse characters. And now, she's trying her hand in a new category: young adult.
It's Only Dancing is a delightful riff on Dirty Dancing. A camp. A dance instructor. Being young and free!
For this night at Local Economy, Guillory will be in conversation with Maggie Tokuda-Hall, who also writes lauded books for kids and teens.
Aaannd we'll also be celebrating Jasmine's birthday with some cake and ice cream and bubbles.
Take it from Cosmopolitan magazine: "Everything Jasmine Guillory touches turns to gold."
