WEST PITTSTON — The West Pittston Library held an Adult Summer Reading Program titled, “Color Our World” taking a look at local authors and their history of writing to publishing a book on Tuesday, July 29 at the library.
Authors taking part in the program were: Vita Cella, Thom Tracy, Jack McCutcheon, Lisa Ann Conway, Jenn Johnson-Hamer, Rita McDermott, Steve Snyder and Nicole Frail of Nicole Frail Publishing.
Authors had a chance to share the inspiration behind their books, how the publishing process works, and what it’s really like to bring a story to life.
