From the <\/span><\/span>Big Texas Read<\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/a> website:<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n THE PITCH<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n You\u2019re stuck at home, entrenched in front of the TV. You\u2019re glued to your smart devices and Twitter is blowing up in front of your eyes and you can\u2019t run and you can\u2019t hide from the ever-pervading end of the world that\u2019s being shot directly through the air on invisible beams and straight into your brain. But: you can UNPLUG from the outside world and JOIN us at The Big Texas Read brought to you by <\/span><\/span>Writing Workshops Dallas<\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/a> and <\/span><\/span>Gemini Ink<\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/a>. We\u2019ll be reading ONE work of prose or poetry written by a Texas author every 1-2 months from now until the bug is squashed! We\u2019ll be with you all the way from page one to \u201cTHE END\u201d with our Zoom author chats and Q&A\u2019s, scheduled every two weeks. Think of it as a big virtual book club, only you get to stay home, mix a cocktail, eat a big piece of chocolate cake, and snuggle up on the sofa.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n THE BOOK<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n We\u2019ll start with <\/span><\/span>David Samuel Levinson\u2019s<\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/a> TELL ME HOW THIS ENDS WELL<\/span><\/a><\/strong>, a novel as much about the times in which we live as it is timeless. Funny, compelling, smart and brilliantly plotted, we at WWD and Gemini Ink are inviting you to join us in reading and discussing this wonderful novel. David will appeal to your questions as well as explain what it takes to sit down and write a speculative\/dystopian novel while actually living through and surviving a tumultuous political climate made manifestly more severe by outside threats. David Samuel Levinson is a teaching artist for both WWD and Gemini Ink and we love launching The Big Texas Read with his novel!<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n FREE GIVEAWAYS<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n Keep a lookout for giveaways that come with being a book lover and taking part in The Big Texas Read, from free online WWD and Gemini Ink workshops to a manuscript consultation with David himself. Help us celebrate the diverse literary voices of our robust state, and we\u2019ll join you in making the most of these unexpected times by keeping you company with great Texas authors and like-minded fellow readers. In these unsettling times, what could be better than a good book, a dynamic discussion, and meeting new friends? What else is there than that? What else will bring us closer together?<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n PARTNER BOOKSTORES<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n We’re excited to partner with <\/span><\/span>Interabang Books<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/a> in Dallas and <\/span><\/span>The Twig Book Shop<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/a> in San Antonio for The Big Texas Read. You can order your book directly from either bookstore and have it delivered to your front door!<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n
