All She Wrote Books Presents: Samantha Paige Rosen

Join All She Wrote Books on Friday, October 16th at 6:30pm, as we welcome editor Samantha Paige Rosen to celebrate the release of her anthology — Living, Together! Amidst the climate crisis, a hostile housing market, and the loneliness epidemic, Living, Together&nbsp;opens a window into how people in the US are thriving through collective care. This book invites us to imagine what new opportunities for connection exist when we push through the walls society has built for us. This book launch event will include a moderated discussion with Rev. Jordan Harris and Willie Burnley Jr., an audience Q&amp;A, and a signing by Samantha! "Inclusivity" isn't just a buzzword to us. We make every effort to ensure our space and events are accessible to and for everyone. If you or someone in your party needs accommodations, please email us at <a href="http://mailto:info@allshewrotebooks.com/">info@allshewrotebooks.com</a>. About Living, Together Featuring Kristen Arnett, Rhaina Cohen, Kim Stanley Robinson, and more ● "Most Anticipated" by Electric Literature, Debutiful, The Millions, and Autostraddle&nbsp;● "Best/Notable" by Book Riot&nbsp;and Daily Kos At age 29, when Samantha Paige Rosen made an unexpected move back home, she was surprised to find how much she loved living with her parents again. Inspired and curious, she began searching for others who had redefined home and community. The essays and Q&amp;As in Living, Together&nbsp;are about carving out spaces of communal connection and joy in our 3-bed, 2-bath starter home culture. Although they recount life at different stages and in different regions, these stories showcase the delights and tradeoffs of more dynamic shapes of “home.” Across sections on family, intentional community, and what lies beyond housing, readers will hear from voices like: <ul><li>Kristen Arnett, whose found family kept her afloat, from weddings to hurricane season and everything in between</li><li>Kim Stanley Robinson, who describes the magic of communities that are led by everyone</li><li>Sarah Thankam Mathews, who founded a pandemic mutual aid group and discovered, like so many of us, how essential connection and care are in times of crisis</li><li>Rodney M. Bordeaux, who explores how strength and unity are inextricably tied to life on First Nations reservations</li></ul>About the Author Samantha Paige Rosen’s writing on identity, culture, and the arts has appeared in the Washington Post, Harper’s Bazaar, ELLE, Slate,&nbsp;Them, Literary Hub,&nbsp;and elsewhere. She earned her MFA from Sarah Lawrence College and lives outside of Philadelphia, where she is a freelance writer and editor, a writing tutor and coach, and an amateur potter. Living, Together: Reimagining Community in the Age of Disconnection is her first book. About In-conversation Partners Reverend Jordan Harris (he/him) is the Pastor of Connexion, a United Methodist community focused on social justice and innovative spiritual engagement.
