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.

About the Author:

Along with her latest novel, ALAN OPTS OUT, Courtney is the author of five previous books, including the romantic comedy TOUCH (A New York Times Editors’ Choice) and the memoir THE YEAR OF THE HORSES, chosen by the Today show as one of the best reads for mental health awareness. Creator of the groundbreaking publishing guidebook BEFORE AND AFTER THE BOOK DEAL and the bestselling Substack newsletter by the same name, Maum is an educator and writing coach hellbent on preserving the joy of art-making in a culture obsessed with turning artists into brands. In addition to her advocacy work for writers at The Author’s Guild, Courtney runs a workshop in New Mexico where she combines twenty years of experience in advertising with a deep love of craft to help writers boost their confidence and industry know-how.
