Gervais will play host to Sharon Butala, a best-selling author of 19 books of fiction and nonfiction, including her 1994 memoir, The Perfection of the Morning; and Casey Plett, who received the 2015 Lambda Literary Award for Transgender Fiction for her debut short story collection A Safe Girl to Love.
