The International Debut of

with

STEVE ALMOND

Harvard Book Store is excited to host local author STEVE ALMOND (Candyfreak, My Life in Heavy Metal) as he reads from his new book, This Won't Take but a Minute, Honey, and discusses why he chose to publish the book using Harvard Book Store's Espresso Book Machine. Audience members will be able to buy their own special editions of the book—to be printed up during the reading.

This Won't Take but a Minute, Honey is a quirky resource for budding writers, a sort of freaky Strunk and White. Read through in one direction to find tiny little short stories of a page each. Flip the book over and find mini essays on the psychology and practice of writing. Whichever way you look at it, you're sure to find a nugget of inspiration for your next project.
