National Writers Series: Debbie Macomber

Perhaps Macomber’s near-capacity crowd at the National Writers Series event wasn’t sure what kind of a ride they were in for that night. Just a block away, another performance was rollicking at the City Opera House – NBC was hosting a free concert featuring Joshua Davis, a semifinalist in the televised, singer-competition show, “The Voice.” In his introduction, Doug Stanton, National Writers Series co-founder, urged the crowd to “vote for Debbie Macomber – she’s trending on iTunes!”

Macomber is definitely trending – in the publishing world – her popular work includes fiction, nonfiction, children’s books, knitting and cookbooks, and inspirational books. Macomber has more than 170 million copies of books in print; she’s published 14 series encompassing close to 80 books; 70 other stand-alone books; plus several anthologies and collaborations. Since 1986, she has also released a yearly Christmas-themed book. This writer works hard to be so prolific.

I love the fact that you list the people in front of your books that appear in the story . You are the best. Bless you

This woman is a State Treasure even though she doesn't realize it! She is a blessing to so many people. I live in an assisted living facility and serve as the facility librarian. We have several shelves which overflow with Debbie's books and they go In and out all the time!! I personally have a library of over 150 of Debbie's works.

This woman is a joy, both to read her works and to listen to her interviews!

I just received “It’s better that way”. Can’t wait to read it.

I recently discovered Debbie's work and I'm quickly falling in love with her work. Reading Mrs Miracle right now.

There isn't a single book Debbie has written that I haven't fallen in love with.

I love Debbie's outgoing and energetic personality; the interviewer's...not so much. Poor guy's clueless.

She's my favorite writer I love her books 💕

I'm on my second book from you and I love them. I am dyslexia too but I have been reading since I was 5. I love them because I can get them in large print which I prefer for my dyslexia and I have been reading your books non stop now. I found them at at the library and now I have just put 3 more on hold!
