SUMMARY:The Hebrew Letter – a Calligrapher’s Journey
DESCRIPTION:with Izzy Pludwinski\nJoin us for a peek into a personal journey through the ancient scribal traditions and the world of modern calligraphy. \nThe Hebrew aleph-bet (technically an abjad) is one of the oldest alphabets in existence. Paleographically perhaps 3000 years old; mystically the Hebrew letters existed before the creation of the world. \nAs the language of the Hebrew bible\, it has a long\, religious scribal tradition which is taken very seriously to this day\, bound by hundreds of legal scribal requirements. It is also surrounded by mystical tradition with thousands of kabbalistic treatises being written on the secrets found within the Hebrew letter. \nIzzy Pludwinksi is a calligrapher who started out as a simple Hebrew scribe and eventually branched out into the wider world of calligraphy as an art form\, separate from all the legal requirements of the religious scribe. This lecture will venture into both worlds\, touching on mysticism\, calligraphic rhythms\, typography\, and perhaps even a bit of Zen\, all leading to the writing of the book The Beauty of the Hebrew Letter. \nLetterform Lectures are a public aspect of the Type West postgraduate program. The series is co-presented by the San Francisco Public Library\, where events are free and open to all.

SUMMARY:Editing With Disability/Chronic Illness
DESCRIPTION:This coffee chat centers people who work as editors and are living with disability and/or chronic illness. It is open to everyone. The idea was partly inspired by an active peer group currently hosted by the Society of Authors (https://www.societyofauthors.org/Groups/Authors-Disabilities-Illnesses-Network). \nGroup agreements that will be open for discussion at the start of the chat:\n* Disclosure (of illness/disability/etc.) is welcome. Disclosure is not required.\n* There are no requirements. We participate (or not) in the ways that work for us.\n* We take care of ourselves. Stretch\, eat\, drink\, take a break\, etc.\n* We can’t be articulate all the time. We give each other the benefit of the doubt and ask questions.\n* We keep confidentiality: Learning goes\, stories stay. \nThe online chat this Thursday will have an open agenda\, loosely focused on work-life: How do we define\, handle\, and sustain our work as editors. What kinds of projects are a good fit? How do we obtain enough but not too much work (if that is even possible in editing!)? What have we learned and what can we learn from each other? \nThe next chat will be held on Monday afternoon April 10 (RSVP at the Event Calendar). \nThis event is free to attend and open to all editors.

SUMMARY:The Heroine’s Journey — A Template for Writers
DESCRIPTION:A Lunch and Learn Discussion with Kate Farrell for Women’s History Month 2024 \n\nUnable to attend? No worries. Register anyway and receive the replay! \n\nEver wonder why the movie Barbie was a “particular ripple in the universe” as Greta Gerwig\, its screenwriter/director\, described it? How did the movie appeal more than the average chick flick and become a runaway box office success\, breaking records worldwide? \nTo many\, Barbie\, in its plot\, characters\, and tropes is the universal story of the feminine quest based on ancient folk and fairy tales. Barbie is to the heroine’s journey as Star Wars is to the hero’s journey. \nKate Farrell\, author and storyteller will discuss the basic elements of the heroine’s journey and compare the Hero’s Journey models of Joseph Campbell and filmmaker Christopher Vogler to the Heroine’s Journey of Carl Jung\, Marie-Louise Von Franz\, and Clarissa Pinkola Estes. \nIn this interactive presentation\, you’ll hear an age-old folktale of the feminine quest with an emphasis on its main characters\, followed by prompts for a free write with time to share a few. We’ll compare iconic films with similar folktale characters like Barbie\, Snow White\, and the Wizard of Oz. \nWe’ll discuss how the modern experience for women reflects the basic plot elements of the feminine quest archetype and makes it relevant as a template for writers: \nTreachery\, Into the Wilderness\, Return. \n·      Treachery: Entanglements and Jealousies \n·      Into the Wilderness: Escape and Initiation \n·      Return: Recognition and Self Attainment

SUMMARY:Winning Book Designs
DESCRIPTION:Designers Tim Green and Molly von Borstel of Faceout Studio are the source of a number of award-winning book covers\, including their entries at the PPN 2023 Book Show. In this virtual event\, they discuss their process for creating these designs. They will cover the roles of inspiration\, trends\, and other resources in planning and executing great book design. They’ll also discuss how an effective design transmittal can foster collaboration and communication\, and how to manage production expectations. You can expect to come away with a great sense of a typical day in the work life of a great design team that will inspire your own work. \n  \nMolly von Borstel graduated with a BFA in Graphic Design and moved to Central Oregon to join Faceout Studio in 2019. Since then she has fallen in love with the visual storytelling aspect of the job\, and the endless adventures the area has to offer. She has a hard time sitting still\, so when she’s not designing books\, find her anywhere but behind a desk! \n  \nTim Green graduated from Northern Arizona University in 2002\, and he has been designing books and brands ever since. His work has been recognized by the AIGA\, Print Magazine\, the National Advertising Federation\, New York Book Show\, Graphis\, and Chuck Norris (true story). Tim is the creative director at Faceout Studio and the co-owner and creative director of Molt Brands\, a newly minted design business specializing in brand identity. When he is not at his desk designing\, he is most likely to be found at home\, with his lovely wife and 3 children. If he’s not with them\, it’s a safe bet you’ll find him at a coffee shop\, probably designing something.

SUMMARY:Black Grief/White Grievance: The Politics of Loss
DESCRIPTION:Join author\, professor\, and political theorist Juliet Hooker in conversation on her new book\, Black Grief/White Grievance: The Politics of Loss. In democracies\, citizens must accept loss; we can’t always be on the winning side. But in the United States\, the fundamental civic capacity of being able to lose is not distributed equally. In Black Grief/White Grievance: The Politics of Loss\, Juliet Hooker\, a leading thinker on democracy and race\, argues that the two most important forces driving racial politics in the United States today are Black grief and white grievance. Black grief is exemplified by current protests against police violence—the latest in a tradition of violent death and subsequent public mourning spurring Black political mobilization. The potent politics of white grievance\, meanwhile\, which is also not new\, imagines the United States as a white country under siege. Drawing on African American political thought\, Hooker examines key moments in US racial politics that illuminate the problem of loss in democracy. Calling for an expansion of Black and white political imaginations\, Hooker argues that both must learn to sit with loss\, for different reasons and to different ends.

SUMMARY:Type Revival for Period Film & TV
DESCRIPTION:Leah Spencer reveals her process of replicating period-appropriate typography for productions like “The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel.” \nDuring the creation of movies and TV shows\, every book cover\, receipt\, storefront sign\, newspaper\, or hotel room number that you see was custom-made by a graphic designer. The aim of this work is to create design that unceremoniously melds with its setting\, and to achieve this for period productions\, type must be in both form and effect of the age. \nAs technologically-equipped graphic designers\, we experience some restrictions when we try to turn back the clock: hand-lettering that was never a typeface\, type that was never digitized\, and type that was digitized but that looks too clean. Add in the logistical and legal aspects of film and TV production and things can get pretty constrained. But there is a solution: type revival. \nJoin Leah Spencer for a look into this unique intersection of traditional craft and contemporary tools. See her process as used in “The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel” to reproduce original mid-century type and lettering as digital fonts. \nLetterform Lectures are a public aspect of the Type West postgraduate program. The series is co-presented by the San Francisco Public Library\, where events are free and open to all.

SUMMARY:California and Reframing the Making of a Modern U.S. West
DESCRIPTION:A central theme of Making a Modern U.S. West by Sarah Deutsch is the question of what would constitute a modern U.S. and whose vision would define the West and the nation. Modernity for some meant corporate consolidation\, capital intensive agriculture\, white supremacy\, male-headed families and private individual land-holding. For others\, modernity could include racial mixing\, transnational mobility\, economic democracy\, and collective ownership of land. Californians ran the full spectrum of these ideas—they fought over redwoods and irrigation\, they speculated on land and oil\, they fought over the border and who belonged on which side\, and even over who should get a say in all those things—and in doing so\, they helped define modernity for the region and the nation. \nThis presentation will address some of those issues as well as how the author tried to corral these unwieldy decades into a single volume. \nA virtual presentation by Sarah Deutsch\, author and professor of history\, Duke University

SUMMARY:Editors Helping Editors
DESCRIPTION:Join us for our “Editors Helping Editors” meeting. Bring your problems\, big and small\, as well as your thinking caps. We’ll work together to solve event-goers quandaries and questions\, which could range from common questions like how to find clients in a particular field (say academic editing) to more situation-specific issues like why a particular macro isn’t working in Word. The only topic that’s off limits is setting rates\, as that can be seen as price-fixing. However\, we can talk about rate-adjacent topics\, such as tools and data we use when setting rates\, what counts as a tax write-off\, and how/when to raise rates. \nThis event is now open to all editors and will not be recorded.
