Julia Fierro's Blog: Author of The Gypsy Moth Summer and Cutting Teeth - Posts Tagged "writing-conferences"

So much excitement in these past few weeks--Cutting Teeth has a cover (voila!) ; I interviewed fabulous women writers at the National Book Award '5 Under 35' party; tonight I'm heading to the NBA ceremony & dinner at Cipriani (in a gown, no less, my husband in a tux for the first time since our wedding); and…Cutting Teeth can be preordered:
Amazon
Barnes and Noble
Indiebound
Powell's City of Books
My publisher's website


If you preorder, email me your proof of purchase and I’ll enter your name in a special "preorder Cutting Teeth contest" to win a hand-knitted scarf/hat combo.
Knitted by yours truly, of course.

I hope to be knitting a lot in the next 6 months, outfitting CUTTING TEETH readers in warm woolly goods.

Thank you to everyone who has already supported me and Cutting Teeth, whether through pre-ordering the book, or sharing the book cover over the social media grapevine, or just sharing my excitement.

Also, also, I’ll be reading at the amazing WORD Brooklyn bookstore on Friday, December 6th with Chelsea Hodson, Joseph Rippi, and special guest, Kevin Sampsell, to celebrate the release of Kevin new book, This Is Between Us, from Tin House Books.
The reading is sponsored by Vol. 1 Brooklyn.

Workshop your fiction with me!
I promise it will be fun, inspiring, and the most thorough feedback ever. I love to talk, teach & discuss the craft of fiction.
