SUMMARY:Proof of Write
DESCRIPTION:This online gathering is a safe place for writers to share up to 5 minutes of raw\, rough\, or polished work written the previous week. Every participant must give – and then sit still and receive – positive feedback. \n\n\n\nIn keeping with the spirit and intention of providing a safe space for writers from all walks of life writing about all kinds of life experiences\, through imagine fiction and recounted reality\, two modifications have been made to the original Proof of Write protocols: \n\n\n\n\nContent warnings are expected from every single writer in attendance\, regardless of whether they are considered necessary. This practice has the benefit of inviting the writer to consider message\, theme\, and presentation of even the most benign ideas and story lines to the potential reader. The more the writer knows about their work\, the more readily they can tempt others to read it.\n\n\n\nIf a writer is uncomfortable sharing deeply personal or provocative work in mixed company\, an arrangement can be made ahead of time to move them and members they are comfortable sharing with into a breakout room for their reading\, with understanding and acceptance from everyone present. \n\n\n\n\nFREE – RSVP required for Zoom room ID

SUMMARY:Author Interview: Julia Park Tracey
DESCRIPTION:In conversation with Bronwyn Emery \n\n\n\nAbout the book: Lonely librarian Nelly sets out to walk in Laura Ingalls Wilder’s footsteps—only to find that the prairie isn’t as romantic as she imagined. As she confronts the darker legacies of the Little House series—racism\, revisionist nostalgia\, and the shadowy influence of Rose Wilder Lane—Nelly must reckon with her own buried truths. \n\n\n\nAlong the way\, there’s a clever\, slow-burn romance with a modern-day Almanzo\, a rivalry with a would-be Laura\, and a blizzard that will test everything Nelly thought she knew about courage and care. By the time she boards the train home\, Nelly has rescued more than just a child in danger—she’s reclaimed her own story. \n\n\n\nWhoa\, Nelly! A Love Story (with Footnotes) is a sharp\, soulful heroine’s journey for the literary misfits\, the daughters of difficult mothers\, and anyone who ever found solace in a well-worn paperback. \n\n\n\nJulia Park Tracey is an award-winning journalist and author of nine books\, with an emphasis on women’s history and her female ancestors’ stories. Inspired by a mysterious train receipt in her family’s scrapbook\, she researched her Orphan Train roots and continues to write novels about her found relatives. A lifelong fan of the Little House books\, Tracey put her train-traveling time when crossing the American prairie to good use when she toured for her previous novels. \n\n\n\nFREE
