Join the WNBA-NYC on Thursday, March 4th for our upcoming event — a virtual panel on Reading & Writing Fiction in a Time of Crisis. This past year has been unusual to say the least, and the impact of it on our habits has been varied and ever changing. I know avid readers who haven’t been able to pick up a book since early last year. And others who hadn’t read much since there high school days suddenly averaging a book a week.
Join our four panelists and moderator Harriet Shenkman as they discuss how their literary practices have been influenced throughout the pandemic. Panelists include:
- Cleyvis Natera, author of the upcoming novel Neruda on the Park
- Debra Magpie Earling, author of Perma Red and Lost Journals of Sacajewea
- Eric Simonoff, literary agent at William Morris Endeavor
- Sally Wofford-Girand, literary agent at Union Literary
Can’t wait for the upcoming event to learn more about these panelists? Tide yourself over with these quotes from the writings of Natera and Earling.
Eusebia held the strange woman’s hand, silently patting it. That day, she’d been sure it would never happen to her. Why had she thought they were immune?
Neruda on the Park, Cleyvis Natera
She glanced at Baptiste and noticed his watching was dim. Hos eyes lazy. His lashes flickered and she say the glare of black irises swirling back in his head, and then only the whites of his eyes, spooky, almost blue. “It won’t do no good,” he said, his dizzy eyes closed. ‘Someone will die.’
Perma Red, Debra Magpie Earling
