That’s a wrap on @VanWritersFest Festival 2022. Thank you to all the authors for sharing their words and feeding our minds. And, thank you to the audiences for filling these seats and buying books. Feeling grateful (and exhausted 😜) (📸:@TaraJMcGuire)

What a joy watching @EleanorWachtel interview @pierre_jarawan at @VanWritersFest tonight. Both were masterful, thoughtful, authentic & kind. Listen when the episode is broadcast. And buy his novel.
