HPA Book Club!
What does it mean to “write naked?” How can the process of creative writing allow us to shed our masks and stand naked before the page, giving us access to a deeper connection to each other and the world?
These questions lay out the theme of “Write Naked” – a story about about a teen-age boy and a teen-age girl and their journey in discovering themselves, each other, and their wish to transform the world through finding what it means to “write naked.”
And we’re very excited that “Write Naked” is the first book for the new HPA Book Club that launches tomorrow, Sunday April 26th!
On the heels of the HPA’s Accio Books! where over 13,000 books were donated and Ravenclaw (under the leadership of Evanna Lynch) ( won the House Cup, the HP Alliance is proud to launch our new HPA Book Club!
The author of “Write Naked” and a featured speaker at Leaky Con, Peter Gould will be a part of the discussion beginning tomorrow, Sunday April, 26th right here. Throughout the several weeks that we’ll be focusing on “Write Naked,” you’ll be able to post reviews, discuss the book, and make recommendations for future book choices. We’re also encouraging people to make video reviews. At the end of the reading period we’ll be holding a live Ustream chat to discuss the book and take questions from members.
So please get “Write Naked” and start discussing!

Hi everyone, my name is Vanessa, and I cant read or right. Online I have voiced recognition software that I speak to, and it writes down what I say, sometimes makes mistakes, so if you’ve noticed that something’s I say don’t quite line up, that’s why. I have another program called confident reader, anything textual online it reads out loud, in a weird mechanical voice, but still, it reads it.
Right naked doesn’t seem to come on audio, if the book is in its full format online, I can read it, does anyone happen to know if it is or not?
As far as my not online life, I just muddle through. I’d be happy to answer any questions you might have. Just wondering if anybody knew that.
