We are happy to announce the revival of WordSprouts, the Coop’s reading series featuring Coop authors.
Due to the lack of availability of space at the Coop, we will be hosting events in partnership with our neighborhood nonprofit, the Old Stone House. Our next few gatherings will take place at the Old Stone House’s beautiful upstairs meeting room.
We are seeking:
- Potential speakers (who have written a book, article, play—fiction or non-fiction—and would like to be considered for our 2024–2025 line-up).
- WordSprouts’ featured authors receive 1–2 workslot credits for participating and may sell copies of their books at the event.
- We are also seeking potential squad members.
We are especially interested in addressing these two topics at upcoming gatherings:
- New approaches to community mental health.
- Our State of the Union (an open conversation about overcoming political polarization, defusing the epidemic of loneliness, and reviving our civic institutions).
Please contact Sarah at SarahSchenckFilms@gmail.com if you are interested in proposing yourself or another member who is an author as a potential special guest, or if you are interested in joining the squad.
