Join us for our new monthly St. Pete Lunch & Learn hosted by Rising Tide Innovation Center. Maureen McDole, Founder of Keep St Pete Lit will share why she started a non-profit and how you can start one too! Presentation is over a tasty lunch provided by Bank OZK.

About Our Speaker:

Maureen McDole was born in St. Pete. She is a direct descendant of carnies, carpenters and fishermen. This do-it-yourself ethos in her DNA infuses every area of her life. As far back as she can remember she loved to write. Her first book of poems, “Exploring My Options,” came out in 2006.  Her second poetry book, “Longing for the Deep End,” was released in December 2011. Maureen is working on her third collection of poems. She has a BA in English Literature from USF-St. Petersburg and a certificate in Arts & Culture Strategy from University of Pennsylvania.  Her poetry has been set in a variety of different ways including: film, dance, spoken word, art installations, Sprechstimme, and traditional vocal works. She is an Associate Editor of Creative Pinellas Magazine. She is the recipient of St. Petersburg Art Alliance’s 2016 MUSE Award for Literary Arts. She is also the VP of Friends of the Mirror Lake Library and a board member of Friends of the Jack Kerouac House. Maureen has been leading workshops and speaking about creativity for over 15 years. She founded Keep St. Pete Lit because she believes wholeheartedly in the power of literature to change the world.
