Book Launch for Pretend Plumber with Stephanie Barbé Hammer

First Thursdays Arts Walk at Riverside Public Library (Arcade & Community Room)

3900 Mission Inn Ave, Riverside, CA 92501

On Thursday, June 2, start your Arts Walk on the right foot at Riverside Public Library with author Stephanie Barbé Hammer as we launch of her latest novel, Pretend Plumber: An Adventure! With plenty of free parking in back (enter from University Avenue), RPL is the perfect place to kick off your evening – and celebrate summer at the same time. This event will include the playlist from the book, independent booksellers in the open arcade area at street level, poetry writing on analog typewriters with Typewriter Muse Bob Marshall, and an open mic. Plus, freshly popped popcorn! Don’t miss it!

Listen to the playlist here: tinyurl.com/PretendPlumberPlaylist

Pretend Plumber: An Adventure tells the story Sarassine Anfang, a precocious, queer-curious Los Angeles teen, who grows so fed up with her wealthy, dysfunctional Jewish Hancock Park family that she decides to run away to her grandfather's Wilshire condo, and become a plumber. But her chocolate eating grandmother and her distracted parents have other ideas.

Revising and Submitting Your Writing for Publication

with Cati Porter

FREE as part of the Inlandia Creative Writing Workshops program

Registration required: https://tinyurl.com/Inlandia-Rev-Sub

You have begun to tentatively call yourself a writer, but you don’t know how to take that next step and get your work published. Or you’ve been published but you need some accountability to kick start your summer submissions. Or maybe you have lots of drafts that could use some polishing, or even some dusting off if they’ve been in that proverbial desk drawer. In this workshop you will be given the tools and the time to work toward publication. Please note: This is NOT a writing workshop. It is recommended that at the start of the workshop you have no fewer than ten pieces of writing you would like to revise and submit.

This workshop will meet virtually every other week for five weeks but there will also be optional coaching and mentorship via email check-ins to report on progress and office hours to work one-on-one with Cati via email, Zoom, or phone, by appointment.
