Prolific women’s historical fiction author and Floridian Eliza Knight has talks on both sides of the Bay this week to promote her new book.

“Confessions Of A Grammar Queen” follows a young copyeditor in the 1960s who wants to girlboss her way to the top of the publishing world and bring other women with her.

On Saturday, she discusses the work at Oxford Exchange with Sarah Penner, author of bestsellers “The Lost Apothecary,” “The London Séance Society” and “The Amalfi Curse.” Registration is $6.65, which can be put toward a bookstore purchase at OE. It’s $21.15 to reserve a signed book with your RSVP.

Knight heads to Tarpon Springs’ The Gilded Page on Monday for a 6 p.m. no-cover talk with Rebecca J. Sanford, author of “The Disappeared.”

Readers are invited to submit their own events to Creative Loafing Tampa Bay’s things to do calendar.
