What is a modern literary salon? Find out on Saturday, November 2 at 7pm, when Marblehead's own Creative Spirit and The New England Indie Authors Collective will host four local writers from diverse backgrounds: the founder of a small press and tech thriller writer; an MIT physicist, fiction writer, and former Wall Street executive; a Grub Street writing instructor, memoirist, and storyteller; and a world-traveler, humorist, and novelist.
The authors will present their latest work and discuss the ins and outs of creative writing and their writing lives. Wine, cheese, and thoughts big and unconventional will be shared. The event will include a Q&A with the authors and a book signing with books being sold at a discount of 10%.
