Join Jerry Farnham, Maine’s Blue Collar Author, for an engaging evening at the Vinalhaven Public Library as he discusses the inspiration behind his work and the craft of storytelling through a working-class lens. Jerry’s narratives are deeply rooted in the Maine experience, capturing the honest, rugged spirit of the people who make their living from the land and sea. This talk will dive into his writing process, the development of his relatable characters, and the importance of preserving authentic Maine voices in contemporary literature.

Whether you are an aspiring writer, a long-time fan of Jerry’s blog, or simply a lover of local stories, this session offers a unique opportunity to connect with an author who builds his books with the same dedication found in Maine's shipyards and fishing docks. There will be time for a Q&A session following the presentation, where Jerry will answer questions about his Character Guide and his journey in the literary world. Come share in a night of storytelling that celebrates the heart and hustle of our island community.
