Author Talk Series

We’ve been fortunate to host a wide range of writers here for our regular Author Talk series – and will soon be announcing dates for later in 2021. We gather twenty to forty people for an hourlong talk moderated by Steve Kettmann, usually featuring two writers, with time for questions from guests. Afterward, writers are available to talk one on one and sign books, and we have snacks and beverages.
