49 Writers Reading and Craft Talk
Our Reading and Craft Talk series provides opportunities for published authors to address informal audiences on topics related to writing. Typically held at Metro Books in Anchorage, these free talks generally begin with a 5-7 minute reading followed by a 20-30 minute craft talk followed by a question and answer session and book signings.

We typically schedule no more than six Reading and Craft Talks per year. Apply early for best availability; a TWO WEEK minimum in advance of your proposed event is required.

If you would like Metro Books to order copies of your book for the event, you must submit this application at least FOUR WEEKS in advance. Book availability is arranged directly between the author and Metro Books. Once you have received email confirmation that your Reading and Craft Talk has been scheduled, you must arrange directly with Metro Books (279-8622) regarding the book signing portion of the event.

If you do not receive an email from the Reading and Cafe Talk Coordinator within one week of your application, check with 49writers@gmail.com
