Reading at 804 Literary Salon in Washington DC, with some amazing writers

It was incredible to get to read in Washington, DC for the first time, at an amazing series, alongside some of of my favourite writers. Andrew Bertaina and Lauren D Woods are incredible writers and writing community members and they host this incredible series in their lovely home, (which reminded me of Hazel Millar and Jay Millar of Book *Hug's amazing at home reading series)

All of the readings were incredible! Tom McAllister, (https://www.tom.mcallister.ws/) author of It All Felt Impossible was funny and sharp and brilliant, Margaret Hutton (https://www.margarethutton.com/) was incredible in her reading from her beautiful novel If You Leave , I’m still thinking about Kara Oakleaf and how much her award winning stories dazzled me and brought me to tears, ( https://karaoakleaf.com/) Amber Sparks is an absolute master of the short story form, and we were so lucky to get a preview from her upcoming new short story collection, (https://www.ambernoellesparks.com/about-me) and Jeannine Pitas’s poems from And/Or were so beautiful moving. https://www.jeanninemariepitas.com/

Thank you so much for letting me be part of something so incredibly special 🧡🧡🧡🧡
