    Join us for Author's Toolbox with Vanessa Miller author of  The Filling Station.

    You don’t need another lecture on writing. You need a room full of writers who get it.

    Once a month, we’re opening a virtual table—coffee optional, opinions encouraged—for Author's Toolbox focused on what actually matters when you’re in the work.

    Each month, we dig into a focused topic—February we will focus on historical fiction—and open the floor for real questions, real challenges, and real conversation. Think friends talking shop at the Waffle House, but on Zoom and with better Wi-Fi.

    Fourth Thursday of every month

    Live on Zoom
    Open to the public | Non-member registration: $25 | Members Free

    Register now and pull up a chair at the table.

    Vanessa Miller is a celebrated USA Today bestselling author, whose prolific body of work spans over 50 titles that explore deep themes of redemption, resilience, and faith—often spotlighting strong Black women during pivotal moments of history.

    Miller’s book, The American Queen won the prestigious Christy Award, the Audie Award and was the 2024 American Fiction Award winner for Historical Fiction. The American Queen was a North Carolina Reads pick for 2025 and an Alamance Countywide read for 2026 and Our State Magazine book club pick for February 2026.

    Her novel, The Filling Station, has received starred reviews from Library Journal and Booklist. It is a Positively Charlotte book club pick, an Oklahoma County Big Red Read and was an instant USA Today Bestseller. Focusing on the tensions of the Tulsa Race Massacre Vanessa gives insight to the early phase of the civil rights movement.
