Authors Ona Gritz, Dawn Raffel, and Daniel Simpson will read from their new books and answer questions on process, revision, publication, and anything else about writing life. Please join us!

Dawn Raffel’s new book, Boundless as the Sky, came out in January.

In an starred advance review, Publishers Weekly wrote, "Raffel draws inspiration from Italo Calvino’s Invisible Cities and the history of Chicago’s 1933 World's Fair for this sublime collection.... This profile of a city within a city creates a Russian nesting doll of urban tableaux.... This is one to savor”

Daniel Simpson’s new poetry collection, Inside the Invisible, won the inaugural Propel Poetry Prize.

“This collection rewards curious readers with so much depth and perspective…
Lovers of poetry will find Inside the Invisible a wonderfully stirring addition to the genre. Its relatability and the author’s seamless weaving of his personal life with larger conversations (particularly where religion, death, and heartbreak are concerned) produces a fine collection of poems with broad appeal."—Independent Book Review

“Ona Gritz’s new middle grade novel, August Or Forever, is a Reader’s Choice Award and Wishing Shelf Award Finalist.

Written from the overwhelmingly convincing point of view of a ten-year-old girl’s perspective, August or Forever takes readers on a rollercoaster ride along the hopes, desires, and fears of a little sister desperate to get closer to a big sister she admires.,…August or Forever is touching, funny, and engrossing. A perfect sisterhood novel.
—The Children’s Book Review, Editor’s Pick
