Hello Kathy and Katie, My name is Jillian Manning, and I am the executive director of the National Writers Series <https://nationalwritersseries.org/> in Traverse City. I was so excited to see the announcement about *Women of Copper Country* being chosen as the Great Michigan Read! We are actually hosting Mary Doria Russell for a free virtual event on May 26 <https://nationalwritersseries.org/programs/an-evening-with-mary-doria-russell/> as part of our spring series. I’d love to connect with you to see how we could support spreading the word about the Great Michigan Read program at our event. Looking forward to talking soon, Jillian Jillian Manning (she/her) Executive Director National Writers Series www.nationalwritersseries.org jillian@nwstc.org O: 231-486-6868
