Very excited to be going back home later this month to help Emma Copley Eisenberg launch Housemates, her heartfelt queer novel set in my hometown of West Philly. The convo will happen at the Free Library of Philadelphia in reality, but on a Spruce Street stoop spiritually.
Thrilled to moderate dear pal Emma Copley Eisenberg's Chicago launch Women & Children First on June 6! Join us as we celebrate HOUSEMATES!
