SUMMARY:Get Lit #61 (Music by: TBA)
DESCRIPTION:12–15 writers reading new work + live music + beer made on site + tacos just down the street: pure magical Get Litness. \nWe’re headed into our 5th consecutive year at Ale Industries as we celebrate writers taking risks and reading never-before-read work (rough drafts/debuts) within a 3-minute time limit + live music. All ages are welcome. Emceed by Abe Becker. \nDoors open at 7:00 PM; show starts at 7:30 PM sharp! Suggested donations of $10-25 will be kindly requested at the door\, though no one will be turned away for lack of funds (NOTAFLOF). Donate ahead of time via the Eventbrite ticket link on this event! \nGet beer. Get tacos. Get lit. \nThis month’s performers: TBA \nMusic by: TBA \nNomadic Press Safe Space Statement \nWhite supremacy and white supremacist-capitalist values permeate this country\, including every state\, county\, city\, and political persuasion. This includes the Bay Area. Illustrations of this range from the more obvious neo-nazi hate groups to all-white reading lineups\, white terrorist shootings to labeling racial equity work in the literary community as censorship\, mass incarceration to the voices most often published. Nomadic Press unequivocally stands against all iterations of white supremacy. \nWe are works in progress\, continually doing the work of internally dismantling white supremacist values that have been inherited by virtue of being in the US. Simultaneous with this internal work\, Nomadic Press utilizes a racial equity lense (as proposed by Race Forward) to dismantle white supremacy within publishing and the literary communities in which we work. We are not perfect\, and we are always trying to be better. \nNomadic Press events are active\, real-time safe spaces for those who have been intentionally silenced and marginalized\, and we will work to ensure that the marginalized continue to take their rightful place in our communities. \nDirect and timely non-violent communication and de-escalation techniques will be utilized to privately call in instances of racism\, transphobia\, homophobia\, ableism\, or misogyny whether in the content of one’s reading or in one’s interactions with members of the community. If\, after being called in privately for a mediation\, a community member is unwilling to acknowledge and address the harm they have caused\, we will protect the safety of this space by revoking a reader’s access to the microphone. We encourage community members to come to us if someone has violated these guidelines away from the microphone. If the situation warrants (i. e.\, instances of sexual predation\, violence\, or threats of violence)\, we will make the information public to inform our communities of the present danger. \nWe are communities in progress. We must be better\, always\, and we ask that we work together to ensure that the safety of our most vulnerable members is prioritized above all else. \nRead more about our safe space process here: www.nomadicpress.org/safespaceprocess \nPoster by: Jevohn Tyler Newsome

SUMMARY:Dashka Slater virtual launch!
DESCRIPTION:We’re excited to host the virtual launch of The Book of Fatal Errors\, a tale of friendship\, magic\, and eternal life\, an evocative and witty middle-grade fantasy–by local favorite–award-winning author Dashka Slater! \n“A fun\, emotionally driven fairy story…an excellent readalike for The Spiderwick Chronicles…recommended for any young fantasy fans.”– School Library Journal \nFor instructions to register with Crowdcast\, and to order the book from Mrs. Dalloway’s\, please see below. \n\n\n\n\n\nSaturday\, July 11\, 2020 – 11:00am to 1:00pm\n\n\n\n\n\nRufus doesn’t just make mistakes – he makes fatal errors. Clumsy and awkward\, he feels entrapped by his teasing classmates and their constant laughter. But now it is summer. Rufus is free. He roams the wildlands of his grandfather’s mysterious homestead\, blissfully unaware of the danger up ahead. \nAnd there is much danger. Rufus and his snooty cousin Abigail soon become entangled in the tantalizing world of the feylings\, mischievous fairly-like creatures desperate to find their way home. In helping the feylings\, Rufus tumbles down a dark path rich with age-old secrets and difficult truths. Any move he makes might be his final fatal error. \nOr perhaps\, his most spectacular beginning. \nDashka Slater has written several books\, including her non-fiction title for young adults\, The 57 Bus\, which received the Stonewall Book Award and was a YALSA Nonfiction finalist\, among many other honors. She also wrote the picture book Escargot\, which won the Wanda Gag Book Award\, and its follow-up\, A Book for Escargot. \nThe event will take place via Crowdcast. Join us from the comfort of your living room or wherever you might be! \nOrder your copy from Mrs. Dalloway’s\, and Dashka will sign and personalize it.
