Join us on May 10 to celebrate the release of Writing Salon instructor Shelby Hinte's debut novel, HOWLING WOMEN, "a metafictional confessional about violence, female rage, sex, addiction, and the lengths one woman goes to rewrite a history she never consented to."
The event will include a reading from the book, a conversation between Shelby Hinte and Ann Guy, an audience Q&A, and time to mingle and buy a signed copy of the book.
This free event will take place at The Writing Salon's San Francisco location. To ensure a seat, please RSVP by 6pm on Friday, May 09.
