Birthing the Book: A Convo with Nichole Perkins 03.22.22

On Tuesday, March 22 I’ll be in conversation with Nichole Perkins for The Porch’s Birthing the Book Series. From The Porch:

Let’s be honest. We writers dream that the books that live inside us will find their way into bookstores, libraries, and homes, will come to life in the hands of avid readers under shady hammocks or in favorite chairs. These books will have splendid covers and rave reviews that honor the love we put into the process. But for many aspiring writers, the journey between finishing a manuscript and launching a book is veiled in mystery. The cogs and wheels of publishing are strangely opaque to the authors themselves. This Porch Happy Hour Series will both illuminate the process, and more importantly celebrate authors who have recently “birthed” their books.

In March, we welcome Nichole Perkins, a writer and podcast host originally from Nashville, Tennessee, who will be in conversation with Kim Baldwin of Ladyland Podcast. Perkins hosts This Is Good For You, a podcast about finding pleasure in life, and previously was a co-host of Thirst Aid Kit, a podcast about pop culture and desire. Nichole is the author of Sometimes I Trip on How Happy We Could Be, a memoir, and Lilith, But Dark, a poetry collection. She currently lives in Brooklyn.

The event is free, so please use your dollars to buy Nichole’s book from your favorite independent bookstore.
