Ned Vizzini and I are reading at the Park Slope B&N 10/26

I'm so excited to be doing a reading with Ned Vizzini, author of It's Kind of a Funny Story–which was recently adapted for the big screen. It's at 7pm at the Park Slope Barnes and Noble (267 7th Ave, Brooklyn).



In my head (and now on my blog) I've been calling it the Mental Illness Tour Part Deux (we read together back in 2006) because It's Kind of a Funny Story is about depression and hospitalization and my first book is about anxiety disorder.

Now you may be thinking to yourself, this event sounds about as fun as going gluten free.  But Ned is amazingly charasmatic and HILARIOUS. And, well, I do my best. But most importantly, Ned and I are survivors. We've struggled with our brains and made it through…far enough to write books and speak about mental illness and encourage people to seek the help they need.

We'll be reading, and chatting, signing books, and taking questions. Hope to see you there!
