5th floor patio of the Chauncey

Please join us with Iowa City debut author Rachel Yoder on the 5 th floor patio of the Chauncey Building on Friday, July 30 at 7pm for a reading, conversation, signing, and book release party for Nightbitch. Ticket badges are required and can be picked up while they last at Prairie Lights. The event is generously hosted and sponsored by The Tuesday Agency. Rachel will be joined in conversation by Nina Lohman, Jenny Colville, and Alisha Jeddeloh.

Nightbitch has been heralded an incredible feat by Carmen Maria Machado, who describes it as "A feral, unholy marriage of Tillie Olsen and Kafka.” Nightbitch has received praise from Publishers Weekly, Jenny Offill, and Kevin Wilson, and has already been optioned for film by Annapurna with Amy Adams set to star.

Rachel Yoder is a graduate of the Iowa Nonfiction Writing Program and also holds an MFA in fiction from the University of Arizona. A resident of Iowa City for 12 years, it's been her great pleasure to be a part of the literary community in her work with the Mission Creek Festival, Iowa Youth Writing Project, Iowa Summer Writing Festival, Iowa Young Writers' Studio, and UNESCO City of Literature. She is a founding editor of draft: the journal of process.

Ticket badges are available at Prairie Lights Books - 15 S. Dubuque St, while supplies last. Books will be sold at the event by Prairie Lights.

**-This will be held on the patio of the Chauncey Building, located on the 5th floor at 404 E. College Street, Iowa City. The rain location will be inside the Tuesday Agency, on the 4th floor of the same building. Wear or bring your ticket badge for entry.
