Wordfest & Indigo are thrilled to present singer-songwriter Martha Wainwright and her heartfelt, revelatory memoir, Stories I Might Regret Telling You.
The hour-long conversation will start at 7:00 PM MT and is hosted by Wordfest's Shelley Youngblut. (The pre-show will begin at 6:50 PM.) Yes, there will be a Q&A at the end of the show, so please email your questions for Martha to questions@wordfest.com by 7:40 p.m. MT.
The live-stream event is free – and if you RSVP, we'll send you a reminder on the day of the show, as well as our unique Digital Doggie Bag the next day with bonus extras sparked by the conversation. The Doggie Bag will also contain a watch-on-demand link, good for 72 hours.
Indigo Books is the official bookseller — act quickly and you might be able to obtain one of a limited number of signed copies of Stories I Might Regret Telling You, available through this exclusive link.
We are grateful to Penguin Random House Canada for making it possible for us to connect you with the always fascinating and multifaceted Martha Wainwright.
