Melanie Benjamin - Author

Last night I had the privilege of attending the annual Authors Guild Gala in NYC, honoring Dr. Carla Hayden (the first woman of color to be named Librarian of Congress, and fired by the current despot in office because she is a woman of color), Percival Everett and Amy Tan. It was an inspiring evening of resistance, empathy, creativity and authenticity. Plus I got to hang with lots of author friends, my editor and my agent!
