An Evening with ME Authors and Publishers: Claire Ackroyd, Clif & Laurie Graves and Brook Merrow

The Pittsfield Public Library and the Ann B. McGowan Maine Writers Series are pleased to present an evening of roundtable discussion with Maine authors and publishers Claire Ackroyd, Laurie and Clif Graves, and Brook Merrow.

Claire Ackroyd's well received debut novel, Murder in the Maple Woods, tells the tale of a suspicious death in the maple woods of Northern Maine. Laurie Graves has written a series of young adult fantasies centered on the powerful Books of Everything, and the mysterious Great Library. Brook Merrow's young adult novel Trapped is a coming-of-age mystery that touches on themes of identity and belonging, will keep you guessing to the end.

Laurie, Claire and Brook have all taken disparate paths to publication. We'll spend the evening hearing about the journey each author took in creating their works, as well as in the process of becoming published. Clif and Laurie will speak to running an independent press (Hinterland Press), as well as what it takes to self-publish, while Claire and Brook are familiar with the Maine Authors Publishing process.

We'll have a round table discussion with plenty of time for audience questions. If you've ever thought of writing - and publishing! - a book, this will be the event for you. This event is free and open to the public.
