Join America’s #1 wizard Devin Person for an enchanted evening exploring the magic of metafiction.

In his latest book, “So Let It Be Written” — A Wizards’ Guide to Metafiction, Person and his co-author and illustrator Eric Millar use essay, memoir, fiction, and fourth-wall-breaking comics to map out the strange mental spaces books let writers and readers explore together. Known for his similarly meta and mind-bending podcast, THIS PODCAST IS A RITUAL, Person’s work as a wizard is marked by self-aware humor, playful philosophy, and an unstoppable quest to help people rediscover the power of their magic.

In this special event, Devin will be reading selections from “So Let It Be Written” and delivering a short talk on how everyone can use the ideas and techniques of metafiction to magically enhance their writing, be it personal journaling, creative fiction, or just writing for the sake of writing! The talk will be followed by a Q&A where you can ask Devin any question you’ve been dying to ask a real-life wizard!

Time: 6:00-8:00 pm EST
