Winter Writers Reading Series: Susanna Daniel

Susanna Daniel’s third novel, Girlfriending, will be published in February of 2026 by Third Rail Press. Girlfriending is a spinoff of “The Goddess of Illicit Choices,” which won the 2024 Zona Gale award for short fiction.

 

Her debut novel, Stiltsville, was awarded the 2011 PEN/Bingham prize, and her second novel, Sea Creatures, was a Target Book Club pick. A graduate of the Iowa Writers’ Workshop, she was a Teaching-Writing Fellow at the Writers’ Workshop as well as a MacDowell Fellow and UCross Fellow.

 

We are excited to again partner with Mineral Point’s independent bookstore for our 2026 reading series. Unless noted, readings will be held at Republic of Letters Books, 151 High St., Mineral Point.
