November Village Story Salon: Gratitude

Prose Readings by Renowned Authors

Village Story Salon is a new monthly prose-reading series at Hudson Park. At each event, we invite three or four published fiction and nonfiction authors to share recent and upcoming work tied to a monthly theme. Then, we will all discuss inspiration and process. The theme for our second event is "GRATITUDE." Our readers will be Terri Campion, Fulla Abdul-Jabbar and Cam Terwilliger. Village Story Salon is co-hosted by writers Cheryl J. Fish and Jonathan Vatner. The event is free and open to the public. All are welcome!
