Not only is TNC an amazing writer, he also handles his online community better than any other author/personality type I've ever seen. I don't know to what extent he will discuss these things, but just wanted to pass it on.

Dear all,

Consider this an early heads up for an event many of you may find interesting.  Ta-Nehisi Coates, senior editor and blogger at The Atlantic is coming to speak here at MIT on Tuesday, November 29.

Coates is not precisely a civic-media person, but his blog and the way he's fostered a community of learning and thinking there ("the horde" as it self-refers) is a really impressive use of the medium to make new connections happen.

He's going to be talking mostly about writing, and what he's learning as he produces his first novel -- but he's a wide ranging, thoughtful guy, and I'd both encourage everyone on the list to come if time and interest permit -- and I ask the favor that you pass the news on to anyone in your circles who you think would find it interesting.

Best,

T.
