We say this all the time, but Pittsburgh really is a special place when it comes to books and writing. It’s not every city that puts local and visiting authors on network TV, and it’s been a joy and an honor to help celebrate our literary community (and highlight local literary events!) with Heather Abraham on KDKA’s Talk Pittsburgh this past year.
