Typerwriter Beach debuted on the USA Today bestseller list and appears on "must read" lists at the Washington Post, Los Angeles Times, Publishers weekly and other national publications.

Set in Carmel-by-the-Sea and Hollywood, Typerwriter Beach is an unforgettable story of the unlikely friendship between an Oscar-nominated screenwriter on the black-list and a young actress hoping to be Alfred Hitchcock's new star.

In graceful prose and with an intimate understanding of human nature, Meg Waite Clayton captures the joys and frustrations of being a writer, being a woman, being a star, and being in love. Typewriter Beach is the story of two women separated by generations—a tale of ideas and ideals, passion and persistence, creativity, politics, and family.

Readers will be riveted."
