Making plans for the Literacy Council’s next Signature Series event are, from left, Susan Swagler, Renee Pugh and Betty Wells.
The next author featured at the Literacy Council’s Signature Series fundraising event is a New York Times best-selling writer and a Birmingham native. Sena Jeter Naslund will release her latest novel, “Adam & Eve,” at a private cocktail reception at one of Birmingham’s most prominent homes.
The reception will be Sept. 28 at 6:30 p.m.
The Signature Series brings at least three well-known authors to Birmingham throughout the year to help raise money for the Literacy Council, a non-profit organization dedicated to strengthening and supporting organizations that provide literacy services in central Alabama.
In an intimate setting, patrons are able to mingle with the author and receive a signed copy of his or her latest work.
Naslund became a New York Times best-selling author after her first novel, “Ahab’s Wife.” She followed that book with the critically-acclaimed “Four Spirits” and “Abundance: A Novel of Marie Antoinette.”
After graduating from Phillips High School, she received her undergraduate degree from Birmingham Southern College, where she won the B.B. Comer Medal in English. She earned a master’s degree and doctorate from the University of Iowa Writers’ Workshop.
