I will be doing an event, short writing exercise, and book signing with readers at the New York Society Library! More information, including how to register, will be available soon!
Rooted in Reformed theology about common grace and the goodness of creation, the Festival of Faith & Writing creates space for meaningful discussion and shared discovery among people with different religious beliefs and practices. Over three days every other April, the Festival brings diverse voices together to offer thoughtful reflection through lectures, readings, conversations, workshops, and more.
I am so excited to be at NCTE’s Annual Conference! Find me here:
