Village Story Salon: STORMY. Prose Readings by Renowned Authors
Join us for the Village Story Salon, a monthly reading event co-hosted by writers Cheryl J. Fish and Jonathan Vatner. Each month, a curated group of published authors will share their recent and upcoming works of fiction and non-fiction centered around a unique theme. Following the readings, we’ll engage in a lively discussion about inspiration and the creative process.
March's theme: STORMY.
This month’s featured readers are Marcia Bradley, Jean Ende, and Adam Chandler.
