The desperation, anxiety and chaos of the streets are captured by Judith Glynn in this story of her electric and fraught relationship with a neighborhood homeless woman. As Ms. Glynn bridges that divide by extending her hand, tentatively at first, to Michelle, she depicts the trepidation, risk and ultimately deep connection forged between a middle-class professional woman and a homeless woman. She discovers in her quest for connection something secretly beautiful about our common humanity.
Judith Glynn is a panelist at the 44th Annual Writers Conference of the ASJA (American Society of Journalists and Authors) to be held April 30-May 2, 2015 in New York City.
She will appear with Miral Sattar, founder of Bibliocrunch, and graphic designer, Guido Caroti. The panelists will cover the A-Z's of putting together a book and highlight the basics of submitting to the various retailers, marketing, and generating buzz.
The Street or Me, has been accepted for the Indie NEW_YORK module on BiblioBoard Library with readers across the state. The Indie NEW_YORK module expects to launch in spring 2015. Consult the "Where" page on the SELF-e website for more information about upcoming module releases.
