I discover Bookbuilders of Boston!

5/10/2017

Last night, I attended the 60th New England Book Show and award dinner, at Boston Symphony Hall.  I had a great time!

I mean, collectively, these are definitely my people!  Designers, graphic artists, editors, paper & binding experts, and others, all involved in the craft of creating a book that looks right, feels good to hold in your hands, and presents its content in a way that seems natural and accessible.

I had fascinating conversations with a variety of other people who attended. I came away glad that I had taken the risk to show up at a gala event hosted by an organization I knew nothing about a few days ago.

I'm definitely going next year!
(The two women in the photo with me, Kristina DeMichele and Rosie Gutmann, were co-chairs of the committee that organized and produced the event.  They did a wonderful job!)

    I'm a social activist who still needs to pay the mortgage, eat, and do the laundry.  But, more than that, I'm a love activist.  I want to make life better without having to say there's anything wrong with it now.
