ella fountain pratt emerging artists award

I found out last month that I was awarded an Ella Fountain Pratt Emerging Artists Award in Literature. The award consists of a cash grant for a specific project that is meant to boost and advance the artist’s career. I wrote my grant to fund a reading tour of North Carolina. I will read from previously published material as well as from a work-in-progress memoir called Carrying Capacity.

So far I have five readings scheduled:

Wilmington, NC – Old Books on Front St.
February 28th, 4:00 pm

Durham, NC – The Regulator Bookshop
March 5th, 7:00 pm

Greensboro, NC – Scuppernong Books
March 6th, 7:00 pm

Carrboro, NC – Internationalist Books
with Emma Anitclimax
March 26th, 7:00 pm

Raleigh, NC – So and So Books
April 10th, 7:00 pm
