Feb. 5, Actress, author, and editor to perform work, answer questions

On Thursday, February 5, at 5:00 p.m., Dinah Lenney will read from her works and host a Q & A session at the Museum of Art/WSU. Lenney is a writer and actress who has appeared on such shows as ER and Sons of Anarchy. She is editor of the prominent literary journal The Los Angeles Review of Books, and several nonfiction books.

Lenney’s visit is part of an editing and publishing showcase that includes a visit from Maria Parlow, editor of the oldest and most prestigious literary journal in the country, the New England Review. On Friday, February 6, at noon, Parlow will lead a roundtable discussion called “The Business of Publishing in Print, Web, and Beyond” with local editing/publishing professionals in the Honors College Lounge. This event is also free and open to the public.
