SUMMARY:Writing Outside the Lines: Nonbinary Authors Changing YA\, with Mason Deaver & Nita Tyndall
DESCRIPTION:Authors MASON DEAVER and NITA TYNDALL join host SHANNON JONES in a conversation about how  Young Adult authors outside the gender binary are reshaping that world\, pulling down pillars of black and white to tell stories of what growing up can mean when you feel like there’s no place for “someone like you.” In a South where queer is still occasionally spat like a curse and many people have never heard terms like cis\, trans\, or nonbinary\, Nita Tyndall and Mason Deaver show us that growing up southern and nonbinary doesn’t have to be lonely\, and can even open your eyes to loves and griefs and joys you never could have found anywhere else. [rsvp required; see below] \nPurchase books from our official bookseller\, Scuppernong Books\, by clicking book image above. \n  \nMASON DEAVER\, an award-winning\, bestselling author and designer\, was born and raised in a small eastern North Carolina town.

DESCRIPTION:KAITLYN GREENIDGE and ANNETTE SAUNOOKE CLAPSADDLE are two rising stars in the world of literary fiction. Greenidge’s Libertie has been called “Pure brilliance. So much will be written about how it blends history and magic into a new kind of telling\, how it spins the past to draw deft circles around our present–but none of it will measure up to the singular joy of reading this book.” And Lee Smith says of Clapsaddle’s Even As We Breathe: “Clapsaddle lifts the curtain to show us a South we don’t know\, revealed through the struggles of Cowney Sequoyah\, a young man growing up within the Cherokee Nation of far Western North Carolina. A wonderful novel\, complicated as life itself — thrilling\, mysterious\, and finally\, a revelation!” This conversation is moderated by NC novelist ZELDA LOCKHART and informed by her work\, The Soul of the Full-Length Manuscript: Turning Life’s Wounds into the Gift of Literary Fiction\, Memoir\, or Poetry. \n[rsvp required; see below] \nPurchase books from our official bookseller\, Scuppernong Books\, by clicking book image above. \nKAITLYN GREENIDGE debut novel\, We Love You\, Charlie Freeman\, was one of the New York Times Critics’ Top 10 Books of 2016 and a finalist for the Center for Fiction First Novel Prize.
