The Drama Program at Phillips’ Mill Community Association is showcasing local self-published fiction authors at 7 p.m. Tuesday, as part of its ongoing series of literary salons.
“Self-publishing is a rapidly growing part of the publishing world,” said John McDonnell, host of the series, “and the salon will feature local authors who have chosen this method to showcase their stories and novels. They will read selections from their work, and their books will be available for purchase. In addition, there will be a panel discussion with valuable insights for anyone who is curious about the self-publishing route.”
Featured authors include Raysa Santos of Ivyland, author of “An Angel Amongst Us,” Marc Dickerson of Yardley, author of “Art Farm,” James Betz of Princeton Junction, N.J., author of “Ralston Heights,” James Martin of Doylestown, author of “Eggplant Emoji,” Paige Gardner of Lansdale, author of “Every Breath Alight,” Patrick Lombardi of Lawrenceville, N.J., author of “Junk Sale,” John McDonnell of Doylestown, author of “Rose of Skibbereen,” Ashini Desai of North Wales, author of “The Secrets We Keep,” and Bob McCrillis of Doylestown, author of “Puckerbrush.”
There is limited space available; sign up at https://www.phillipsmill.org/event/salon-self-published-fiction. This event is the perfect opportunity to meet local authors, discover new works of fiction, and learn more about the self-publishing process. Bring your own food and drinks, alcoholic or otherwise, if you desire.
The Salons at Phillips’ Mill series was created to emulate the great salons of Paris in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, to offer a creative environment for the arts and literary communities of Bucks County. These salons bring together creative people from across the spectrum — writers, actors, artists, directors and more — to share their ideas, talent and works in progress in a friendly, informal atmosphere.
For information contact John McDonnell at johnmcdonnell@phillipsmill.org or visit the Phillips’ Mill website listed above. Future salons are planned for storytelling, fiction, poetry, and more.
