Writer-in-Residence Reception October 19, 2011

The Associates of the Boston Public Library invites you to a reception on October 19, 2011, from 6 to 8 P.M. to welcome its eighth Children's Writer-in-Residence Fellowship winner, Sarah Winifred Searle. In addition, the reception will celebrate Elaine Dimopoulos’ completed 2010-2011 residency year. Both authors will read from their works and discuss their writing and/or illustration processes. The reception is taking place in the Abbey Room at the Boston Public Library’s Central Library in Copley Square. It is free to attend, and refreshments will be served. Space is limited, so reservations are required. To RSVP, please contact the Associates office at [email protected] or (617) 536-3886.

Sarah found her professional niche as a game artist, and now she hopes to use her background to create a unique storytelling experience. Her graphic novel, Under the Apple Tree is, in short, a ghost story. Set during World War II, a girl must solve the dark mystery that shrouds her home, while handling the trials and tribulations of adolescence during times of great change in American history.
