Most writers know Anne Lamott because she wrote one of our most sacred documents, Bird by Bird: Some Instructions on Writing and Life. If you haven’t gotten around to reading it, do.  Just perusing a few quotes from the book will convince you that she has something to offer you as a writer, we promise.

At any rate, Anne is coming to town to promote her new book, Stitches: A Handbook on Meaning, Hope and Repair.  And though this is not necessarily a writing event, we’re dropping a line about it here because it’s probably (definitely) worth it to go hear her talk and let her sign your old (or new) Bird by Bird copy. All for free.

Details below.  See you there.

“Popular author Anne Lamott will be speaking at Fort Worth’s Arborlawn United Methodist Church on Thursday, November 14 at 7:00 p.m. The author will be talking about her new book, Stitches. Anne will sign books during a reception following her talk. The event is free and open to the public.”  For the flyer, click here.
