This is a press release for a non-fiction book I’m in titled, “Fifty Writers on Fifty Shades of Grey.” The book is a non-fiction collection of essays by 50 writers about the runaway bestselling novel “Fifty Shades of Grey” by E.L. James. I thought this event might be of interest to those who are fans of the book who live in the NY tri-state metropolitan area. And the event itself looks like it should be fun and it’s something I’m going to try to get to depending on my schedule next week.
