Join Banana Slug Books for this discussion on their debut publication, Spokane Campfire Stories: A Literary Anthology, which includes a special reading from contributing authors. Sometimes witty, sometimes lyrical, sometimes heartbreaking and tragic, the fiction collection shows every side of its hometown and how it connects us all. The Banana Slug editorial team of Aimee Brooks, Dylan Cooper, Morganne Elkis, and Katy Shedlock will explore their love for literature, and how it has deepened their relationship to Spokane. The discussion will illuminate the unique and fascinating aspects of our region, capturing the Inland Northwest experience in all its beauty and mystery. Check out this panel for a conversation about how one place can inspire many different stories, and stick around to hear readings that will illuminate the local Spokane literary scene! 

*This event is virtual and will premiere on our YouTube channel at the time scheduled above. Direct link coming soon!
