Literary Round-Up: Be Inspired

July 9th, 2008 Written by: Lindsey Darden· No Comments

To be inspired, L.D.This week revolves around subconscious mentoring. Whether you are an aspiring writer or are trudging through the normal day-to-day only to find yourself at yet another mental roadblock (or if you simply love to read), by attending one of these events, you might be further inspired to do whatever it is that you do best - and not just at the behest of your restless inner voice.

Reading | Wednesday, July 9, 2008 | 7:00 pm | Free | Hammer Museum - Map | Rachel Kushner (editor, journalist, and novelist) and Salvador Plascencia (lecturer, short-story-writer, also journalist and novelist) take part in an ongoing reading series, followed by a book signing at the Hammer bookstore. Tickets are required at this free event, and can be picked up at the Billy Wilder Theater box office. For more info, call (310) 443-7000.

Book Discussion & Signing | Thursday, July 10, 2008 | 7:00 pm | Book Soup - Map | Eleanor Coppola’s new book Notes on a Life - a detailed look into her life, both professional (as artist and filmmaker) and personal (as wife of Francis Ford Coppola and mother to their three children) - will be available for purchase and perhaps requested personalization.

Hollywood Book Festival | Saturday, July 11, 2008 | 10:00 am | The Grove at Farmers Market - Map | Plenty of talent goes unnoticed by print, television, and film, and if you’re one of the many individuals searching substance in the realm of verbal expression, this might be the place for you. For good ideas on publishing, or to complete a collection with a purchase, many booths will be available for your perusing pleasure. And hell, who can argue with the presence of celebrity authors? For more info, call (323) 665-8080.
