I co-curated Ragdale Foundation’s two-day benefit, More Than a Novel Affair, and you can take part in it. Day one is Friday, May 16th and features five amazing authors (Kazim Ali, Jami Attenberg, Xochitl Gonzalez, Chigozie Obioma, and Claire Lombardo) will be in conversation—moderated by the wonderful Faylita Hicks—about making space for art and finding your voice. And there will also be music, cocktails, a signing, and an optional dinner add-on… Tickets for this start at $60, and you can get them here.
