About this Event

James Riley, the New York Times bestselling author of the Half Upon a Time series, takes an in-depth look at the wonder and absolute weirdness of fairy tales, why we love them, and what it must be like to try to reconstitute an egg using only horse hooves. Spoiler alert: It can't be easy. He'll also do a reading from his fairy tale series, just to prove he knows what he's talking about, but we're not willing to commit one way or another on that last point. 

Join the Virginia G. Piper Center for Creative Writing for Fractured Fairy Tales: How to Fix Humpty Dumpty Even If You’re a King’s Horse with James Riley on Wednesday, September 23, 2020 from 6:30 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. Arizona time on Zoom.

Riley will also be teaching a workshop, Writing for Children for Fun and (Very Little) Profit. More details about Riley's workshop will be announced soon.

Please note: As Phoenix does not observe daylight savings time, determining the correct time outside of Arizona can be somewhat confusing (especially as we move between MST and PDT throughout the year). To check the current time in Phoenix, Arizona, you can check the world time clock. If you have any questions, please reach out to the Piper Center at pipercenter.info@asu.edu.
