Author Goldie Taylor to discuss “Paper Gods” at Manuel’s Tavern
Journalist and political strategist Goldie Taylor will discuss and sign copies of her new book, “Paper Gods,” on Oct. 24.
The book, released this month by St. Martin’s Press, is a political thriller set in Atlanta.
Taylor took a 10-year break from writing novels to focus on rediscovering her voice.
“I think I needed to understand my own voice and form,” Taylor, currently an editor-at-large for The Daily Beast, said in a previous interview. “I took time to revisit the craft.”
Taylor, who worked on a number of political campaigns, said she wanted to tell a story from an insider’s point of view. The view of someone who had “lived here, loved here and worked here.”
The dramatic rights have been sold to a major Los Angeles-based production company, according to Taylor, who is currently working on her fourth book.
She is also developing a slate of scripted and unscripted television projects.
The discussion and book signing will be held at 6 p.m. at Manuel’s Tavern, 602 North Highland Ave. N.E.
