Writers for Hire November 10, 7pm
Have you ever wondered what it’s like to put words in someone else’s mouth?
Join us for a spirited discussion of the ghostwriting trade! Keir Graff, Barry Pearce, and Christine Wolf
have had very different experiences in writing for hire, and moderator Sharon Woodhouse has not only
hired ghostwriters but shepherded books through every stage of publication. Whether you want to know more about ghostwriting,
co-writing, book coaching, book doctoring—or all of the above—our panelists promise to share the tricks of the trade.
(Along with some of their best ghost stories, naturally).
Banned Books Club December 1st 6:30 pm
This book is not a romance. Consider it a "study in jealousy" as the author maintained.
The themes of obsession, forbidden knowledge, and desire have driven audiences to debate
the motivations and psychology of its characters.
Rebecca by Daphne du Maurier appears on several banned or challenged books lists.
The possible causes for attempts to censor it:
queer subtext, sexual themes, and violence.
Join us in discussion
at our final book club meeting of the year.
