About this author

Lavinia Spalding is author of two books: Writing Away: A Creative Guide to Awakening the Journal-Writing Traveler (chosen one of the best travel books of 2009 by the L.A. Times) and With a Measure of Grace, the Story and Recipes of a Small Town Restaurant (now in its fourth printing). She is also the editor of Travelers' Tales' The Best Women's Travel Writing 2011 (a Book of the Year finalist) and The Best Women's Travel Writing Volume 8 (May 2012).

A regular contributor to Yoga Journal, her articles, essays, fiction, poetry, and opinions have also appeared in a wide variety of publications, including Sunset Magazine, Post Road, World Hum, Gadling, and Inkwell. She lives in San Francisco.


For those of you who live in the Bay Area, I'll be doing a reading/signing at the Green Arcade, one of my favorite San Francisco indie bookshops, on October 12th, at 7 pm. The Green Arcade is at Market and Gough. http://www.the greenarcade.com read more »
