This week’s Literary Happy Hour was born out of having to learn Zoom suddenly, for work: as soon I saw the capacity the technology I had, I started wondering how we writers might use it to gather together, and how we might use that gathering to support other writers in new ways. This first episode features readings by—and conversation with—Mary South, Amber Sparks, and Megan Giddings. (See below how to buy their books and support local bookstores!)
