Meet Author Laura Stanfill

with Bill Johnson

 

Date: 1/3/2023 - 1/3/2023
Time: 7 pm
Location: Portland, Oregon
Category: Arts/Entertainment
Summary: Laura Stanfill, author of Singing Lessons For the Sytlish Canary, will speak to the Portland Chapter of Willamette Writers on Tuesday, January 3rd.
Details: Laura Stanfill has always worried about her authors’ worries, as the publisher of Forest Avenue Press. But in 2022, when her debut novel came out with Lanternfish Press, she had to navigate those fears and bumps in the road as the creator of original work, not just as a champion of someone else’s project. She’ll talk about common misperceptions about the publishing industry and anxiety-inducing situations as a way to breathe, laugh and shake off the things we can’t control as authors. Bring your questions and concerns to this interactive conversation.

Laura Stanfill is the publisher of Forest Avenue Press and the author of Singing Lessons for the Stylish Canary (Lanternfish), Powell’s best book of 2022. She has won two Oregon Literary Fellowships for publishing and was awarded the inaugural Independent Book Publishers Association scholarship to the Yale Publishing Course. She believes in building a literary community at the local level as a way to subvert the scarcity model of publishing.

Join us to kick off 2023 with Laura Stanfill on January 3rd . 7:00 pm at Willamette Writers Headquarters at 1336 NW Flanders St, Portland OR. Laura is the author of Singing Lessons for the Stylish Canary and was a keynote speaker for the WW convention this past summer.
