The North River Arts Society Writers Workshop welcomes debut novelist Michelle Hoover to its next Author Series, on Tuesday, Nov. 16, at 7 p.m., at the G.A.R. Hall in Marshfield Hills. The event is free and open to the public.
Hoover, who teaches writing at Boston University and Grub Street, is the author of The Quickening, which was released in June and has been shortlisted for the Center of Fiction’s Flaherty-Dunnan First Novel Prize.
If you’re an avid reader or aspiring writer, don’t miss this opportunity to learn first-hand from a published author. At the Author Series, Hoover will discuss her “rather long road to publication” and share the lessons she learned and insights she gained along the way. She will also read from her novel and answer questions from the audience.
Hoover’s work has also been published in Confrontation, The Massachusetts Review, Prairie Schooner, and Best New American Voices, among others. She has been a Bread Loaf Writer’s Conference Scholar, the Philip Roth Writer-in-Residence at Bucknell University, a MacDowell fellow, a Pushcart Prize nominee and, in 2005, the winner of the PEN/New England Discovery Award for Fiction.
The G.A.R. Hall is located at 157 Old Main Street in Marshfield Hills, off Rte. 3A.
