Fall for the Book

3 authors compete in a mad dash to write a story based on 2 audience-chosen sentences. Feat. Hannah Grieco, Megan Howell, and Michael Don.

Stacy C. Sherwood Community Center

What do you get when you give three writers only two sentences and twenty minutes? A Story Sprint! Emcee and author Zach Powers will pull two audience-suggested sentences from a hat which will serve as the opening and closing lines for these impromptu tales. Featured sprinters Hannah Grieco, author of First Kicking, Then Not, Megan Howell, author of Softie: Stories, and Michael Don, author of Partners and Strangers will then write for their lives. This classic interactive race will include fun writing games for attendees during the Sprint, followed by a reading of the final stories. This event is part of Fall for the Book's Spring lineup.
