SUMMARY:P&P Live! Axie Oh—The Girl Who Fell Beneath the Sea -- In Conversation with Elizabeth Lim
DESCRIPTION:Deadly storms have ravaged Mina’s homeland for generations. Floods sweep away entire villages\, while bloody wars are waged over the few remaining resources. Her people believe the Sea God\, once their protector\, now curses them with death and despair. In an attempt to appease him\, each year a beautiful maiden is thrown into the sea to serve as the Sea God’s bride\, in the hopes that one day the “true bride” will be chosen and end the suffering. \n\n\n\nMina didn’t plan to sacrifice herself to the Sea God but does so to save her brother and his beloved. Rather than drowning\, Mina is swept away to the Spirit Realm\, a magical city of lesser gods and mythical beasts. A human cannot live long in the land of the spirits\, but with the help of a mysterious young man named Shin—as well as a motley crew of demons\, gods and spirits—she must seek out the Sea God and wake him to bring an end to the killer storms once and for all. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAxie Oh (WFYP\, June 2017) is a first-generation Korean American\, born in New York City and raised in New Jersey. She studied Korean history and creative writing as an undergrad at the University of California San Diego and holds an MFA in Writing for Young People from Lesley University. She is the author of XOXO\, Rebel Soul\, and Rogue Heart. \n\n\n\nElizabeth Lim is the bestselling author of Spin the Dawn\, Unravel the Dusk\, and Six Crimson Cranes. Before becoming an author\, Elizabeth was a professional film and video game composer\, and she still tends to come up with her best book ideas when writing near a piano.

SUMMARY:Writing to Astound\, with Michael Mercurio
DESCRIPTION:All writers\, no matter how accomplished\, feel the pressure of finding the right words to invigorate their prose and bring their stories to life. The right word choice and arrangement can surprise and astonish readers\, or entice editors and agents to keep reading well after the first page. Think of the power that wordplay\, (rhyme\, alliteration\, lyricism\, connotation) holds for you as a reader when you are transported by an author! Join poet (and self-described etymological obsessive) Michael Mercurio (Poetry\, January 2017) for this three-hour workshop\, and you’ll come away with the tools to punch up your writing\, astound your readers\, and make your work truly stand out. The workshop includes a brief history lesson on the peculiarities of the English language\, an opportunity to discuss some tried-and-true strategies for using words as springboards for inspiration\, and plenty of time to explore the power of language.

SUMMARY:Dr. Lisa Gruenberg discusses her memoir My City of Dreams with Laurel Braitman
DESCRIPTION:Join author Dr. Lisa Gruenberg (Nonfiction\, June 2007) for a virtual reading and discussion of her second-generation Holocaust memoir\, My City of Dreams. This event\, hosted by the Stanford Center for Biomedical Ethics and their Medicine and the Muse Program\, will be moderated by Laurel Braitman\, the program’s Director of Writing and Storytelling and author of the New York Times bestseller\, Animal Madness. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nIn My City of Dreams\, Gruenberg\, confronted with her elderly father’s flashbacks and nightmares\, begins to inhabit the story of his sister Mia\, who disappeared into Germany in 1941 when she was just fifteen years old. After her father’s death in 2005\, Gruenberg traveled to Vienna\, Germany and back to her childhood to explore this lost landscape\, and to trace the fates of Mia\, their extended family\, friends and neighbors. Using letters\, old photographs\, primary source documents and her father’s writing\, she weaves her story with theirs.  \n\n\n\nJane Brox (Nonfiction\, MFA Writing Faculty)\, author of Brilliant and Silence writes: “Gruenberg’s search for coherence becomes a journey of both discovery and imagination\, and ultimately brings her to an understanding that proves also to be a form of healing.” My City of Dreams is a gift – an honest and thoughtful book\, beautifully written and full of compassion. \n\n\n\nLearn more about My City of Dreams here: lisagruenberg.com
