Reader Meet Writer returns in November with three spectacular events: Beth Gilstrap (Deadheading & Other Stories), Gayle Forman (Frankie & Bug), and Jerard W. Alexander (Volunteers:Growing Up in the Forever War). There are more details about each event below. What may have been lost in all the excitement around New Voices New Rooms last month, however, are all the Reader Meet Writer conversations that took place in September.

Wiley Cash had a fascinating discussion with JD Jackson, the actor who did the narration for the version of When Ghosts Come Home. Fun fact: did you know if you do a seach on Jackson in the Libro.fm catalog, you come up with over 1500 results? Including the new translation of Beowulf by Maria Dahvana Headley!

Constance Lombardo's talk with writer/illustrator Torben Kuhlmann was almost magical. Not only do you get to hear how a mouse explains relativity and time travel, you also get to see Kuhlmann create some of his beautifully intricate drawings.

Margaret Renkl is a known and beloved voice in the South, both passionate and compassionate.RMW host Wiley Cash talks to her about her latest essay collection, Graceland at Last, although the conversation ranges farther and wider than the Sewanee campus (which comes up as a topic more than once).

Lisa Jewell provides fascinating insight into how finds and constructs a story and where the seed of the idea for her bestselling novel The Night She Disappeared was first planted.
