Meredith Goldstein has written The Boston Globe’s advice column, Love Letters, for over a decade and also hosts the Love Letters podcast. She’s encountered thousands of people’s love problems. What has she learned about relationships? How do modern letters compare to the ones Ann Landers received years ago? How does one become an advice columnist to begin with? Meredith will talk about her work and explain why advice columns will forever be popular. She’s written a memoir, Can’t Help Myself: Lessons & Confessions from a Modern Advice Columnist, and two novels: Chemistry Lessons, for young adults, and The Singles, about a group of dateless guests at a wedding. Meredith will talk about her work and explain why advice columns will forever be popular, especially in times of crisis.
