Maine Authors for Lewiston, an informal group of more than 70 Maine authors, have banded together to support the victims of the recent tragedy in Lewiston. The group has organized a series of 10 book signings at libraries across the state for people to meet authors and purchase books.
The Camden Public Library will host a Maine Authors for Lewiston event on Thursday, December 14, 6:00 – 7:30 PM in the Picker Room. This event is free and open to the public.
Fiction writers, children’s book authors, non-fiction writers, and poets will be among the participants. This is a wonderful opportunity for Maine book-lovers to support local authors, but, most importantly, to help our fellow Mainers as they begin to heal and recover.
All of the participating authors have agreed to donate all, or most, of their proceeds from these events to help the healing and recovery efforts in Lewiston. All are volunteering because they care.
The Maine writing community is a small, but vibrant, part of Maine culture. Some writers have been personally impacted by the events in Lewiston, others simply care deeply about Maine and their fellow Mainers. Most do much of their writing in and about Maine. All want to help.
Participating authors include Robin Clifford Wood, David Florig, Ed Rice, Sarah Carlson, Maureen Milliken, Meg Weston, Sandra Dunham, Claire Ackroyd, Amy Carpenter, Barry Somes, and others!
Maine Authors for Lewiston is organized by David Florig, a member of the Maine Writers and Publishers Alliance, author of The Stones of Ailsa Craig, and the past-president of the Pine Tree Curling Club in Portland.
