Woodland Pattern Book Center and Milwaukee Rep will co-host Power & Money & Wisconsin Women Writers, a salon-style event celebrating and amplifying the voices of local women-identifying authors. 

In conjunction with The Rep’s production of Miss Bennet: Christmas at Pemberley by Lauren Gunderson (America’s most produced contemporary woman playwright) & Margot Melcon, five Wisconsin women writers will come together to discuss the influence of power and money on their work and lives. 

These writers include Susan Firer, Destinny “Deolinda Abstrac” Fletcher, Siwar Masannat, Denise Sweet, and Lucy Tan.

Every attendee will receive a bibliography listing Milwaukee leaders’ recommendations for favorite Wisconsin-based authors, and emerging local artists will also find resources and further opportunities to build professional connections in the community.

The event is FREE, and give-what-you-can donations will be accepted at the door.
