SUMMARY:LIVE ON ZOOM: Shaping a Book of Essays w/ Sebastian Matthews and Rebecca McClanahan
DESCRIPTION:The nonfiction writer who creates a book from independent pieces encounters challenges that the writer of a single-arc narrative does not. Though each essay can stand alone\, each should also relate to the other essays in significant ways to form a whole greater than the sum of its parts. In other words\, the writer (and\, later\, the reader) needs to see the forest\, not just the separate trees. \nIn this workshop\, we’ll explore basic shaping principles and combine our discussion with brief in-class writing prompts and take-away exercises. \nRead more about this even here!

SUMMARY:Join Brookline Booksmith in celebrating Lara Ehrlich's ANIMAL WIFE and Amy Shearn's UNSEEN CITY!
DESCRIPTION:Register here to attend! \n\n\nAnimal Wife — A girl born with feathers undertakes a quest for the mother who abandoned her. An indecisive woman drinks Foresight\, only to become stymied by the futures branching before her. A girl acts on her desire for a childhood friend as a monster draws closer to the shore. A widow invites a bear to hibernate in her den. These are the stories of Lara Ehrlich’s collection\, stories of women reaching across the threshhold of the permitted and the mundane into something new and strange \nLara Ehrlich’s stories are published in many forums. She is the winner of a 2019 IHAF In-House Creativity Award and numerous Council for Advancement and Support of Education (CASE) awards for her feature writing. She has received scholarships from the Martha’s Vineyard Institute of Creative Writing\, the Midwest Writers Workshop\, and the Garret on the Green. She earned her BA from Boston University and her MA from the University of Chicago. \nUnseen City — How do lost souls find one another? It’s a question Meg Rhys doesn’t think she’s asking. Meg is a self-identified spinster librarian\, satisfied with living with her cat\, stacks of books\, and her dead sister’s ghost in her New York City apartment. Then she becomes obsessed with an intriguing library patron and the haunted house he’s trying to research. What follows is an exploration of what home is\, how we live with loss\, who belongs in the city and to whom the city belongs\, and the possibilities and power of love. \nAmy Shearn is the author of the novels The Mermaid of Brooklyn and How Far Is the Ocean From Here. Her third novel\, Unseen City\, is forthcoming from Red Hen Press in 2020. She has an MFA from the University of Minnesota\, and currently lives in Brooklyn. You can find her at amyshearnwrites.com or @amyshearn. \nMore About The Bookstore \nBrookline Booksmith\, est. 1961\, is a family owned bookstore located in the heart of Brookline\, Massachusetts. Through our thoughtful curation\, eager and voracious booksellers\, and award-winning events series\, we strive to be a haven for those who find comfort\, enrichment\, and joy in books.

SUMMARY:LIVE ON CROWDCAST: KRISTEN MILLARES YOUNG reads from her debut novel SUBDUCTION with Lory Bedikian\, Brittany Ackerman\, and Alexandra Teague
DESCRIPTION:Subduction (Red Hen Press) \nFleeing the shattered remains of her marriage and a betrayal by her sister\, in the throes of a midlife freefall\, Latina anthropologist Claudia Ranks retreats from Seattle to Neah Bay\, a Native American whaling village on the jagged Pacific coast. Claudia yearns to lose herself to the songs of the tribe and the secrets of her guide\, a spirited hoarder named Maggie. But when\, spurred by his mother’s failing memory\, Maggie’s prodigal son Peter returns seeking answers to his father’s murder\, Claudia discovers in him the abandon she craves. Through the passionate and violent collision of these two outsiders\, Subduction portrays not only their strange allegiance after grievous losses but also their imperfect attempts to find community on the Makah Indian Reservation.
