Growing Room Festival presents Character Development: Writing About Pregnancy and Parenthood, a reading with Marianne Apostolides, author of Deep Salt Water. Also with Nicole Breit, Audrey Thomas, Cynthia Flood, and Fiona Tinwei Lam.

Writing about the topic of pregnancy and parenthood is just as varied as the people who become pregnant and/or parents, and explores the full gamut of human emotion. Marianne Apostolides, Nicole Breit, Audrey Thomas, Cynthia Flood, and Fiona Tinwei Lam have written about pregnancy and parenthood extensively through the years—and to much acclaim. Join us as they give us a glimpse of the various facets of this simultaneously very private, and very public, experience.
