Seattle This Saturday
One More Leafskin Event Before Summer
I’m going to be in Seattle this Saturday at Common Area Maintenance to celebrate Leafskin with some wonderful writers. Come out and see us!
When: Saturday, May 31 2025, 4:00 PM - 6:00 PM
Where: Common Area Maintenance, 2125 2nd Ave Seattle, WA
What: Come celebrate the Seattle launch of Leafskin, Miranda Schmidt’s debut novel. Join us for prose, poetry, snacks, and interactive art inspiration! Leafskin is a book about reaching toward nature through writing and art and, during breaks between readers, we’ll be doing just that with a generative exercise and optional low-key sharing.
We’ll hear excerpts from Leafskin and readings from Seattle authors: Justine Chan, Rachel Edelman, Rachel Linn, and Daniel Tam-Claiborn.
It’s a free event and you can register here or just show up!
I’ve spent May doing lots of very fun readings and talks and getting to have conversations with some amazing writers. You can still watch some of them online: Brown Bag Lit hosted a conversation about hybrid writing with me and writer Ellene Glenn Moore (video here) and I had the chance to read and chat about writing and parenting with Pen Parentis (video here).
In other news, I’m planning some workshops over the summer and will be sharing more details here next month. I’ll also be playing around with this newsletter over the sunny season and have some fun posts in the works, so keep a lookout!
I hope to see you Seattle folks this weekend! Happy writing!
