Genesis Ellis, Susan Brittain, and Calvin Gimpelevich are Washington writers, bringing some different perspectives. Genesis is a QTPOC public speaker, organizer and writer in the aloof-loner tradition. They go by many names and many pronouns. He's an agoraphobic who lives with his partner and a tiny dog in the PNW. Susan has lived on two continents, in two genders, and sailed the bays and oceans as a tall ship captain for over 30 years. Born near London, England, she emigrated to the United States in 1980 and now enjoys a quieter life ashore working in Port Townsend, WA at the Writers Workshoppe and Imprint bookstore. Calvin's an author and organizer with his first book debuting next year. Join us as they read and discuss their fiction and memoir.

Calvin Gimpelevich and Friends: 'Trans Writers'

Calvin Gimpelevich (Invasions) was in 4th grade when he realized how much time and effort the writer must have spent creating the book he was reading.  That realization turned the avid reader into a writer and that identity continues to guide his life.  We talk about his experience as a transgender writer, the role of literature in society, and what it means to be a storyteller.   Additional Resources  calvingimpelevich.com Calvin on Instagram: @calvin.calvin.g
