Cool thing! Cool thing!
The Braille Institute has invited me to be on a panel with Mary Robinette Kowal (!!!) and Gabe Cole Novoa (!!!!!) to discuss romance fiction. This conversation is going to be so interesting.
Will my inner 10 year old be chill? Probably. But she’ll be internally spinning around until she falls down on the grass.
I am particularly excited to talk about how reading affects the brain and what that means for empathy and intimacy within the privacy of our imaginations. We’re also going to be discussing dialogue, literary remixes, and how romance centers the emotional well being of the protagonists. (Cannot. Wait.)
The Braille Institute is a nonprofit organization and the regional branch of the National Library Service of the Library of Congress, serving blind and visually impaired people with services, classes, and workshops since 1919.

I hope to see you then!
