About this Event
We’re excited to host author Courtney Maum for an evening full of writing inspiration and book discussion.
Join us on Wednesday, June 10, at the bookstore for a special discussion with Courtney about her new book, ALAN OPTS OUT. Courtney will share insight into what inspired this book, how she develops and writes a book, the publishing process and more. Following the discussion, Courtney will stick around to sign copies of her books.
This event will follow a 90-minute writing workshop with Courtney focused on developing your manuscript and workshop attendees will receive complimentary registration for this discussion.
