Hello, Florida friends! I'm so excited to moderate this book event at Books & Books in Coral Gables on Friday, April 12 with Pulitzer Prize-winning feature writer and awesome human being Lane DeGregory! I'll be asking Lane questions about her beautiful book, "'The Girl in the Window' and Other True Tales," and Lane will share her best tips for finding, reporting and writing nonfiction narratives. Lane and I will be introduced by Gretchen Day-Bryant, managing editor of the Fort Lauderdale Sun Sentinel. At the conclusion of the discussion, we're planning to migrate to the bookstore's lovely outdoor courtyard bar for an in-person Society for Features Journalism meetup. Please join us if you can! 😊🎉 https://lnkd.in/gdqwcv3W
