Women’s, Gender, Sexuality Studies hosting queer romance author during UMaine Pride Week

University of Maine Women’s, Gender and Sexuality Studies program is hosting queer romance author Cat Sebastian on Tuesday, March 26 during UMaine’s Pride Week for a Q&A session from 12:30-1:30 p.m. and a writing workshop from 5-6:45 p.m. Both events will be held in room 208 of Neville Hall. 

Tea, coffee and cookies will be served at the Q&A, where Sebastian will answer questions related to the romance genre and her experience as an author. She will provide writing prompts during the afternoon workshop and answer questions while participants brainstorm and write. Tea and hot chocolate will also be served.  

Advance registration is not required for the lunch-time Q&A, but is mandatory for the afternoon writing workshop. Both events are open to the UMaine community, but the workshop is limited to forty participants.

The first 18 undergraduates to register will receive a free copy of Sebastian’s 2023 novel “We Could Be So Good.” This event is co-sponsored by the Stephen E. King Chair in Literature, UMaine professor of English Caroline Bicks.
