Many people have a profound need to write. Telling their story, whether through fiction or nonfiction, feels as essential to them as eating or breathing. Are you a writer? Do you want to see how other new writers tackle the soulful and practical aspects of writing? Six writers will be reading from their memoirs, short stories and novels on Saturday, June 9, 2012 from 7 to 10 p.m. at Seattle’s Santoro’s Books. The event will be run by writer and writing coach Caroline Allen, owner of Art of Storytelling. Wine and snacks provided. Free. 

Here’s a list of the readers:
•Luanne Brown
•Sulley Keehnel
•Danny Litowitz
•Julie Mannina
•Ellen Newhouse
•Carrie Allen

A loving thank you to Carol Santoro for hosting the event. Her bookstore represents the essence of the power of storytelling in building community. Such writer events would be impossible without independent bookstores like Santoro’s. www.santorosbooks.com.
