AAUW LITERARY FUNDRAISER
Zoom Event ~~ March 13th, 2021 @ 10 – 11:30am Eastern ~~
Anna will be the keynote speaker at the March Literary Scholarship Fundraiser for the Orlando/WP chapter of AAUW. The national American Association of University Women organization has one key focus – to promote equity and education for women and girls.
COVID has changed this 20th annual fundraiser luncheon and silent auction into a Zoom event — with a general meeting at 10am followed soon after by author Anna Elias sharing the story of her debut novel, The Vessels, the journey that brought it to life, a short reading (no spoilers) and a Q&A.
The event is free. Donations are appreciated and will support this chapter’s scholarship fund to help local girls attend college. For donation details, and to get on the Zoom list, please email Anna at — annamelias@gmail.com.
10% of all book sales from this event will go to this scholarship fund. Please email to include your purchase.
The book is available online at Amazon, Barnes&Noble and more. And you can buy a signed copy directly from the author. The cost is $18. Shipping is free anywhere in the U.S.
Email annamelias@gmail.com for details.
PAST EVENTS
“Vessel Time Live” Chat & Giveaway
Join my weekly author chat on Facebook live. Tonight’s topic: “Character: What + Why = Who.” (True for real people, too!)
Writers invent characters whole cloth for their fictional tales. Old or young, villain or hero, killer or savior, they must “live and breathe” like we do – warts and all. How do you create that? Tune in tonight to hear more! AND to earn your chance at this amazing Thanksgiving Storyteller’s Box.
Includes: signed book, t-shirt, lip balm, book sleeve, chocolates, buttons, mirror and more!
“Vessel Time Live”
Join me for my weekly author chat on Facebook live. In light of the national election, the topic will be: “Politics – A House Divided.”
In addition to talking about staying whole in a family that does not vote alike, we will spotlight the novel’s one political figure and the battle brewing between him and his dad, Vessel’s program leader Sam Fullerton, that could cost everything.
Spirit Circle Book Signing
Meet the author of “The Vessels” – a unique, supernatural sci-fi thriller with a heart for justice. Books available. Safety measures will be honored with masks, hand sanitizer and social distancing.
