Join us this Wednesday for the first<B> Writers Work</B> forum of the fall with Mark Wootton and Nat Herold, local heroes with over fifty years of combined experience in independent and university bookstore management and ownership.<BR>
Currently Co-Owners of Amherst Books, both Mark and Nat possess a wealth of expertise in literary bookselling. In addition to owning Wootton's Books, Mark has managed the Boston University Bookstore and worked as Managing Editor for Alice James Books. Nat owned Goliard Books, managed Atticus Albion Bookstore, and served as Sales Manager and Marketing Director of David Godine. Come hear Mark and Nat talk about the life of the independent bookseller, the role of independent bookstores in society and the marketplace, and making a life among literature.<BR>
<I>Writers Work: making art, making a living</I> hosts a rich array of professionals working in fields related to literary, book and other arts, but distinct from academia. Showcasing the ways writers and other artists find careers in which to apply their skills and the ways art lovers bring the arts into their lives, editors, publishers, librarians, booksellers, arts administrators and others share how their careers and their love of literary and other arts intersect.<BR>
<I>Writers Work is a program of the Juniper Initiative of the MFA Program for Poets & Writers and is made possible by support from the English Dept., Commonwealth College, CHFA, UMass Arts Council and Alumni Association.<BR>
