Katarzyna Majgier – award-winning writer will meet with readers at Poczta Polska branches
Spring will arrive at Polish Post offices with Katarzyna Majgier. The author of books for children, young adults, and adults will meet with readers in Sopot, Łódź, and Warsaw. Her latest novel, "Cichy Potok," is a historical novel with a crime plot, which will be available exclusively at Polish Post offices for several weeks. Attendees will have the opportunity to win it by participating in a fascinating writing challenge.
Katarzyna Majgier is a psychology graduate of the Jagiellonian University. She debuted as a writer in 2006. She quickly gained popularity writing books for adults ("The Centennial Gospoda" and the "Kuchnymi Drzwi" series) and for children and young adults. Her books for younger readers have won, among others, the main prize in the Astrid Lindgren competition and the Kornel Makuszyński Award. Besides writing books, she creates online game scripts, publishes articles and photos online and in print, and conducts journalism, writing, and occasionally art workshops.
Author meetings will be held in:
- March 14 – UP Sopot 1, Tadeusza Kościuszki Street 2,
- April 1 – UP Łódź 1, Juliana Tuwima 38,
- April 7 – UP Warsaw 1, Świętokrzyska Street 31/33.
All meetings start at 5 p.m. and are open to the public.
During each meeting, you'll have the opportunity to listen to an interview with the author, ask questions, purchase the book at a discounted price, and get it autographed. Additionally, the author will read an excerpt from her novel. Those who share their ideas for developing the plot will receive a signed copy of "Silent Creek."
The author meetings, which were previously held with four other authors of books available at post offices: Justyna Jelińska (crime novels), Monika Wawrzyńska (funeral literature), Agnieszka Lis (social fiction), and Krystyna Mirek (social fiction), are one way to promote reading. Poczta Polska plans to organize more such events at post offices in various regions of Poland.
The book collection is available at all Poczta Polska branches. In many locations, it's the only place in the area where you can buy books, newspapers, and magazines. The post office offers dozens of titles. These include guides and hobby books, which have been best-selling for years, as well as crime novels, thrillers, history books, and biographies.
Every month, new releases and promotional publications appear on post office shelves at reduced prices.
