Venue Finder for Literary Book Talk

I'm looking for a freelancer to help me find a suitable New York venue to host a talk about my upcoming book, "Ninette's War- a Jewish story of survival in 1940s France, the US edition of which will be published by Pegasus Books and distributed by Simon & Schuster on 2 September. The eponymous heroine of the book was a member of one of France's most prominent Jewish families - a distant cousin of Albert Einstein and of the American actor, Julia Louis-Dreyfus. Her parents' social circle included Proust and Colette. As the Germans headed towards Paris in 1940, the family fled, going into exile first in Marseille and then Cannes. When the Germans arrived on the Riviera in 1943, the family went into hiding under false identities in Pau before fleeing over the Pyrenees to safety in Spain. All around them, however, members of their extended family and social circle were arrested and deported to Auschwitz, never to return. By way of background, here is the URL for the relevant page of my UK publisher, Profile Books: https://profilebooks.com/work/ninettes-war/. The URL for my author’s website is https://johnjay.co.uk/ and the URL for the Simon & Schuster page on my book is https://www.simonandschuster.com/books/Ninettes-War/John-Jay/9781639369614. My hope is that you will find a potential speaking event for me when my wife and I plan to be in New York for the US launch.
