One for the Road: An Anthology of Road Trip Writing
When the Covid-19 pandemic sent much of the world into social isolation, it seemed like a good time to take on a group writing project, an opportunity to connect with relatives, friends, and friends of friends. And since most of us were stuck at home at the time, why not write about that great American pastime, the road trip? Hence, One for the Road: An Anthology of Road Trip Writing was conceived. You will find twenty-three road trip pieces within these pages, and the authors of the offerings range in age from twenty-six to eighty years-old. The stories here feature tales of cross-country trips, day trips, and even trips of the imagination. In addition to essays, original poetry and song lyrics are included in the collection. Speaking of songs, you will find a link to a Spotify Playlist at the back of the book, as well as a roster of the tunes on that playlist. All of the authors were invited to contribute to this list, and many of the songs included are referenced in the respective stories. Finally, all proceeds from the sale of One for the Road will be donated to local food relief efforts in the Charlottesville, Virginia area.
