Book Reading and Discussion with Annie Carl & EB Helveg

Join us for a special book reading and discussion with local authors Annie Carl & EB Helveg, who have both lived with disabilities their entire lives and transformed those experiences into powerful novels with sci-fi twists and powerful artwork/photography. Their stories invite us to see inclusion, accessibility, and community in a whole new way.

This is not just a book talk—it’s a chance for our community to come together. Hear from local authors, city leaders, and neighbors as we discuss accessibility, inclusion, and how Mukilteo can continue to grow as a city that supports all of its residents.

✨ Free & open to the public. Bring a friend! Light refreshments will be provided, please RSVP.

Annie Carl is the author of My Tropey Life: How Pop Culture Stereotypes Make Disabled Lives Harder (Microcosm Publishing, 2020) and Nebula Vibrations (Vertvolta Design + Press, 2022) and is the editor of Soul Jar: Thirty-One Fantastical Tales by Disabled Authors (Forest Avenue Press, 2023). She has numerous short stories in several anthologies. Annie is also a knitter and crocheter, pole dancer, a champion Star Wars nerd, and a mom to both a human child and a cat.
