Writing Group Magic

A Conversation with Three Prolific, Playful, (Sometimes Panicked), and Published Writing Group Pals!

Interested in taking your ideas from the page to the publisher? Join us to learn how these three writers formed a group that produced three debut authors in 2023!

Learn about their stories and how the writing group became an invaluable resource through the phases of writing, editing, publishing, and now book promotion! They will share how they structured their group and how it has evolved. The event will end with a question-and-answer period. Come with curiosity about writing in general, or with questions about your own project. 

• Laura Beretsky, author of Seizing Control, a memoir about the challenges of living with epilepsy, Laura’s quest for justice over workplace discrimination, and the patient self-advocacy required to get the best possible medical care.
• Bev Boisseau Stohl, author of Chomsky and Me: a memoir, about her 24 years running the MIT office of renowned linguist and social critic Noam Chomsky. Bev finds humor and light amid dark topics while revealing the man behind the icon, examining her life choices in the process.
• Jean Duffy, author of Soccer Grannies: The South African Women Who Inspire the World, about a team of 40 to 80-year-olds who defy social convention to play soccer for the health benefits and companionship it provides.

For adults. Registration required. Contact Ari at apappas@minlib.net with any questions.
