Join author, writing workshop leader, and former Salon.com advice columnist Cary Tennis for a book distribution and Q&A on writing craft.
About this Event

Cary spent twelve years, five days a week, amusing and scandalizing the early Internet with his off-beat, compassionate, lyrical, and sometimes downright crazy advice to troubled couples, exasperated mothers, confused fathers, desperate daughters, puzzled sons, struggling writers, and bored office workers, all refugees from a cruel and uncaring world, before leaving San Francisco in 2015 for a quiet life in the small Tuscan town of Castiglion Fiorentino.


Join us at Manny's in my old Mission neighborhood on Tuesday, October 14, from 7:30 to 8:30 pm for a gathering of friends old and new.

Cary will talk about his latest insights about the craft of fiction and take some questions about the pros and cons of life in Italy. His goal is to distribute as many books as possible and only ask that you allow me to keep in touch with you via email.
