This Indie Bookstore Day, we’re celebrating women’s rights AND women’s wrongs with Melissa Lozada-Oliva (Candelaria), Megan Milks (Slug and Other Stories), and Chelsea G. Summers, reading from her brand-new, IBD-exclusive novella, An Excellent Host!
Come for one, come for all! It’s a day for reading, dancing, loving, eating (IYKYK), and more!
Melissa Lozada-Oliva is the author of Peluda, Dreaming of You, and Candelaria, which was named one of the best books of the year by USA Today and Vogue. She is the cohost of the podcast Say More and runs a substack called READING SUCKS. She received her MFA from NYU in 2020 and lives in Brooklyn.
Megan Milks is the author of Margaret and the Mystery of the Missing Body, a finalist for the Lambda Literary Award in Transgender Fiction, and Slug and Other Stories, both published by Feminist Press in 2021. Their personal history of early online music fandom, Tori Amos Bootleg Webring, was also published in 2021 (Instar Books). With Marisa Crawford, they co-edited the anthology We Are the Baby-Sitters Club: Essays and Artwork from Grown-Up Readers (Chicago Review Press).
Chelsea G. Summers is a former academic and college professor with Ph.D. training in eighteenth-century British literature. A freelance writer, Chelsea’s work has appeared in New York Magazine, Vogue, The New Republic, Racked, The Guardian, and other fine publications.
