This special event is a fundraiser for the Millay House Rockland Writer-in-Residence program.

Natalie Goldberg, best-selling author of Writing Down the Bones, will be reading from her new book— Writing on Empty : A Guide to Finding Your Voice. In conversation with host Meg Weston, Natalie will talk about the book, the writing practice, and answer Q&A from the chat.

All ticket sales ($25) proceeds will go to the Millay House in Rockland, Maine. For more information about their newly established Writer-in-Residence program go to www.millayhouserockland.org. Come support a worthy cause, and enjoy listening to Natalie’s humor and insights into the joys and trials of the writing life.

”At some point or another, nearly all writers suffer a spell when the aquifer of inspiration runs dry. With Writing On Empty, Natalie Goldberg has written a sagacious and at times surprisingly funny memoir about her own dry spell—a chronicle that will also serve as an elegant instruction manual for others on how to write through the inevitable desolate patches to rekindle the banked fires of creativity.”
—Hampton Sides, bestselling author of Ghost Soldiers and Blood and Thunder
