The Tipsy Bee returns with our grown-up spelling bee! Root for your favorite authors – Abraham Chang, Erin Crosby Eckstine, Danny Goodman, Elyse Graham, Jakob Guanzon, and Olivia Wolfgang-Smith – as they try to spell literary-inspired words. Last year’s champ Hyeseung Song will be there as an official lifeline for struggling spellers. As the featured authors (inevitably) lose, we’ll call up audience members for the chance to win the Grand Prize! Hive Mind Books will be there with a curated selection of reads as well as the featured authors’ books.

Join us for an evening with authors Kristen Holt Browning and Danny Goodman as they share their experiences from writing to publication. Kristen will read from her novel Ordinary Devotion, and Danny will share from his novel, Amerikaland.

The authors will discuss their paths to publishing, offer insights into the process, and answer your questions about bringing a book to life. Both authors will have their books available for signing and purchase following the discussion.

Join us for an enlightening conversation between Danny Goodman, author of the 2024 book, Amerikaland, in conversation w/ Richard Mirabella, author of Brother & Sister Enter the Forest. We are excited to host Goodman, whose recent work was called a “contemplative, richly imagined, and occasionally thrilling exploration of the near future,” by Kirkus Reviews, and “virtually flawless” by Independent Book Review.

Books will be available for purchase, and Goodman will be available to autograph them after the talk.

The Hound Books brings together two debut authors: Danny Goodman & Aaron Jacobs.

Danny Goodman’s writing has appeared in various publications, and he was the recipient of a writer-in-residence fellowship from Rivendell. He earned his MFA in Fiction from the University of New Orleans, where he was a two-time winner of the Samuel Mockbee Award. His award-winning debut novel, Amerikaland, is out now from LEFTOVER Books. He lives in the Hudson Valley with his wife, a book editor, and their editorial cats. Currently at work on a new novel, he is badly in need of a nap.

Aaron Jacobs is the author of the novels Time Will Break the World and The Abundant Life. His stories and essays have appeared in Tin House, Alaska Quarterly Review, Crime Reads, Atticus Review, and elsewhere. In his fiction, Aaron explores the wayward American approach to life, which means he'll never run out of material. He studied writing at the University of Maryland, the 92nd Street Y, Sackett Street Writers' Workshop, Wesleyan Writers Conference, and the Tin House Summer Workshop. He lives mostly in the Catskills with his wife, Katie, and their dog, Monty.

I’ll in in conversation with the brilliant Kristen Felicetti (LOG OFF), where we’ll discuss our debut novels and the fun and challenges therein! (Virtual event with the Pittsford, NY Community Library)

Please join us in person at the Hudson Valley Writers Center as we welcome Danny Goodman, Elizabeth Burk, & David Rigsbee as they read from their most recent books. Books will be available for purchase on site.
