Reading and Craft Talk Series

Our Reading and Craft Talk series provides opportunities for published authors to address informal audiences on topics related to the craft of writing. Held at Great Harvest Bread Company in Anchorage, these free talks generally begin with a short reading followed by a 20-30 minute craft talk. The event concludes with a question and answer session and book signing. (Authors are responsible for providing their own books.)

49 Writers typically schedules two Reading and Craft Talks in fall and three in spring. We prefer to confirm presenters at least four weeks in advance but we are always open to additional opportunities as they present themselves. Click here to propose a Reading and Craft Talk.

We are in the process of planning our Fall 2013/Spring 2014 season and will post notice of future featured authors when they are confirmed.
