We are staggered by all of the marvelous authors who read for us in our fifteenth season of Salons in Lower Manhattan.
Our encore Salon on June 13, 2017, featured multiply international-bestselling author Jennifer Probst who told us stories of how she and her husband reacted after 20 years of rejection letters to receive an offer for a seven-figure advance on a novel that had itself been rejected by multiple houses. Critically acclaimed author Marcy Dermansky revealed that preschool can be a great benefit to a single mother who needs to write – she managed to finish the novel that will ensure food on the table for the next year in only a little over six months thanks to that writing time. Chicago-based author Gint Aras reminded us all that guilt is not to be taken lightly – but must be overcome. He also declared that criticism is a dark mirror that reveals more about the limitations of the critic than the limitations of the writing. It was a gorgeous and inspiring night.
