Laura Moe places as a Finalist in the Portland Screenplay Awards!Congratulations to author and EPIC President Laura Moe (Laura's photo is in the article following this one), who placed as a Finalist in The Portland Screenplay Awards for her pilot of Neruda’s Blues, a streaming series based on her novel BREAKFAST WITH NERUDA.
The audiobook version of the novel will be available October 11, 2022 through Spotify, iTunes, Libby and most retail and library audio services. School is out for the summer, but not for eighteen-year-old Michael and seventeen-year-old Shelly. The pair of them meet while serving court-ordered community service, and both are driven by secrets and lies. Only Michael's family members know he lives in his car and he wants to keep it that way; he's worried his mother's hoarding could cause his sister to end up in foster care. Shelly soon discovers Michael's living arrangement, but she protects his secret and doesn't judge him. Michael chooses to defy his mother's wishes to leave the past alone and goes digging for information on his father's identity, and Michael learns much more than what he bargained for. In this Coming of Age novel, Michael and Shelly discover a shared passion for Pablo Neruda’s poetry and gradually become more than friends. During Edmonds Art Walk on October 20 – Stop By the Edmonds Bookshop!

We Stand in Solidarity
We want to assure our members and the public we serve that our core values are rooted in diversity and inclusion. As a writing organization made up of community members, EPIC GROUP WRITERS is dedicated to providing a safe place for writers of all colors to voice their sense of grief, rage and fear and for the rest of us to listen to their stories and reflect on their experiences. In addition, as a community of writers and artists, we will actively search for ways for all our members to create and share their dreams through listening, expressing, and finding words to build a better future. |
