Maine Authors for Lewiston Book Signing
2023-12-02 10:00 - 12:00 (America/New_York) | Abbott Room
Maine Authors for Lewiston, an informal group of more than 70 Maine authors, have banded together to support the victims of the recent tragedy in Lewiston. The group has organized a series of 10 book signings, all free and open to the public, so that people can purchase books and meet the authors. There will be fiction writers, children’s book authors, non-fiction writers, and poets among the participants. This is a wonderful opportunity for Maine book-lovers to support local authors, but, most importantly, to help our fellow Mainers as they begin to heal and recover.
All of the participating authors have agreed to donate all, or most, of their proceeds from these events to help the healing and recovery efforts in Lewiston. All are volunteering because they care.
The authors scheduled to appear at the Belfast Free Library are: Irene Drago, Bruce Pratt, Skip Simonds, Robert Klose, Jason Trask, Michael Norton, Ed Rice, Gregory Newton Brown, Lucky Platt,
Andrea Lani, Jeffrey Thomson, Tom Wells, Kelly Brooks-Bay, Danielle Bannister, Deb Shepherd, and David Florig.
