Glitz it up and help support young writers in Maine! Join us for Glitterati, our annual bash featuring local literary luminaries, a live auction, live music from This Way and a cash bar. Catering provided by Blue Elephant.

Tickets are $75. Because we want all to be able to attend, we created a limited number of $50 "starving artist" tickets to accommodate those who have yet to score their big advance from the publisher. There is no difference in seating, access to event activities, etc.

Featured authors at the event include Susan Minot, Charlotte Bacon, Jane Brox, Peter Behrens, Liza Bakewell, Sarah Braunstein, Lisa Carey, Jaed Coffin, Ron Currie Jr., Margot Livesey, Claire Messud, Mary Pols, Lewis Robinson, Caitlin Shetterly, Justin Tussing, and James Wood. A special reception for the authors will be held at 5:30pm prior to the main event. A limited number of tickets for the author reception are available for $25 and can be puchased through the Brown Paper Tickets link below.

Auction items include weekend stays at Sugarloaf and Saddleback, a stay for eight at the William Dean Howells Memorial House in Kittery, home decor consultation from Linda Banks, artwork by Elise Ansel, cooking classes, Folia jewelry and much more.

Where: Masonic Temple, 415 Congress Street, Portland

When: 6:00pm, April 5th, 2012
