2023 Writer-In-Residence Reading

Erica Berry, this year’s winner of the North Coast Writers Residency, will read from her work on Sept. 24 at 3 p.m. at the Astoria Visual Arts Gallery, 1000 Duane St. in Astoria. The event is free and open to the public. 

Berry is the Portland-based author of Wolfish: Wolf, Self, and the Stories We Tell About Fear, and she intends to spend her residence week this September to work on her second nonfiction book, Hot Heads, which she describes as “a mix of cultural criticism, journalism, and memoir exploring the influence global warming has on romantic love.” Her reading at the AVA Gallery is the culmination of her residency.
