Book Tour Announcement!

On the road again with Dear Writer

Hi, Friend.

Some news! I’m hitting the road again this spring with Dear Writer, heading to New York, Boston, DC, Baltimore, Nashville, Minneapolis, and Columbus.

I hope you’ll grab a few friends and come say hello! This will be fun, and we have some exciting surprises up our sleeves, too.

At the core of this book is a belief that creativity is our birthright as human beings. Yes, all of us. Dear Writer is full of pep-talks, craft tips, writing prompts, and revision strategies inspired by ten essential elements of creativity: attention, wonder, vision, play, surprise, vulnerability, restlessness, tenacity, connection, and hope. You can apply them to art-making—if you’re a writer, or a painter, or a filmmaker, or a musician. But I’ve found that anything that applies to writing also applies to life. Problem-solving is a creative act. Conversations are creative. Parenting is creative. Falling in love, leaving your job, changing your mind—all creative acts. Creativity isn’t just about making art. It’s about how we live.

Below you can see the cities, venues, conversation partners and performers, and indie bookstore partners. There’s also a special virtual event hosted by FAN in Chicago, in case I’m not coming to your neck of the woods this time around. You can join us from wherever you are.

As venues post registration details, those links will be available on my website.

In the meantime, you can catch me at Seattle Arts & Lectures on February 27. I’m really looking forward to that, too.

See you soon, I hope!

Love,
Maggie
