SUMMARY:Literary Salon: Speaking for the Past - Composing Historical Scripts
DESCRIPTION:First-person historical interpretation is a powerful and impactful teaching tool for groups of all ages\, and is an effective way of engaging modern students with aspects of the past which can be difficult to grasp. Composing accurate scripts presents different challenges\, particularly if the subject is a person who had been historically silenced. In this Literary Salon\, historical interpreters Valerie Davis and Debbie Phillips will present on the processes of accurate script-writing and portrayal\, particularly for women and persons of color\, who are often silent in the written record. \nWHEN: Thursday\, November 8\, 2018\, 7 pm – 9 pm \nWHERE: Patrick Henry Pub & Grille in the upstairs salon; 2300 East Broad Street in Historic Church Hill \nCOST: Free and open to the public (no ticket required)

SUMMARY:Literary Salon
DESCRIPTION:James River Writers and The Poe Museum welcome you back to the grand tradition of the literary salon —an intimate gathering centered around an inspiring host to “inform\, educate\, & delight.”* Each evening features discussion with an expert creative and allows for dynamic interaction among participants.

There is no cover charge for these events. We welcome writer-ly types of all experience levels and readers\, thinkers\, and artists of every sort.   \n  \n*a description based on Horace’s idea of the aims of poetry

SUMMARY:Literary Salon: Authentically Scientific
DESCRIPTION:Writing about scientific topics presents authors with particular struggles—from finding reputable sources to properly conveying complicated information without losing one’s audience. How can a writer make sure they are interpreting their sources correctly while also expressing scientific information within its proper context? During the next Literary Salon\, Dr. Kelly Lambert\, a behavioral neuroscientist\, will lead a group discussion focused on strategies to avoid many common pitfalls and integrate science into your writing in a way that will entertain audiences and won’t make scientists groan. \nWHEN: Thursday\, March 8\, 7 pm – 9 pm \nWHERE: Patrick Henry Pub & Grille in the upstairs salon; 2300 East Broad Street in Historic Church Hill \nCOST: Free and open to the public (no ticket required) \nSPEAKER\nDr. Kelly Lambert\, PhD\, is a professor of behavioral neuroscience at the University of Richmond. Her publication record includes over sixty articles in journals such as Nature\, Stress\, and Neuroscience. She served as President of the International Behavioral Neuroscience Society from 2009-2011.  Dr. Lambert has received funding from the NIH and NSF to support her research investigating the neurobiology of emotional resilience and parental responses and\, recently\, has incorporated naturalistic observations of various primates at the DuMond Conservancy in Miami\, FL and wild raccoons into her lab’s neural explorations. Her work has appeared in mainstream media publications such as The New York Post\, The New York Times\, The Chronicle of Higher Education\, and the Richmond-Times Dispatch. Dr. Lambert’s two books for wider audiences include Lifting Depression: A Neuroscientist’s Hands-On Approach to Activating Your Brain’s Healing Power  and The Lab Rat Chronicles: A Neuroscientist Reveals Life Lessons from the Planet’s Most Successful Mammals.  She is currently writing Bursting Brain Bubbles:  Sharpening our Contingency Forecasts to Avoid Emotional Crashes (Yale University Press\, anticipated release Spring\, 2018). \n

SUMMARY:August Literary Salon: Pushing the Boundaries
DESCRIPTION:Many new writers are given the advice “to write what you know.” Yet\, if you limit your writing to what you know\, your stories\, poems\, or articles can become stilted and\, just as importantly\, you can become bored before you ever create the masterpiece you dream about. To fully engage your imagination and your audience\, you must take risks with your writing. Whether you’re writing about people or creating characters who are different from you or trying forms and structures that break conventions\, pushing the boundaries takes a deep understanding of yourself\, your experience\, and what you’re trying to achieve. In this literary salon\, we’ll explore what you need to know before you start bending the rules and then do some writing exercises to give you the opportunity to push your own boundaries. \nDate: Thursday\, August 17\, 2017 \nTime: 7:00 pm – 9:00 pm \nLocation: Patrick Henry Pub\, 2300 E Broad St\, Richmond\, VA 23223 \nPrice: Free \nSPEAKER\nAnnette Marquis \nAnnette Marquis serves as Program Director for James River Writers. She has an MFA in Creative Nonfiction from the Solstice Low-Residency MFA Program and is the author of over twenty-five books about computers and software\, one memoir about civil disobedience\, and numerous articles and essays on everything from how to talk to your IT person at work to dealing with the aftermath of a church shooting. As an intercultural competency consultant and trainer\, Annette specializes in teaching how to write authentically about race\, class\, sexual orientation\, gender identity\, ability\, and all the other identities that make us who we are. Annette lives in Henrico with her poet-librarian wife.
