Bryant Park-Word for Word Series Week 1


Bryant Park is one place in New York City to relax. After the ice rink is cleared to make room for the lawn, there are programs for visitors to enjoy in the spring season. One such example is the Word for Word Series in the Reading Room. This is a question and answer session with an author that also allows those in attendance to buy the author's book.

2013 Season: For Week 1, TV talk show and radio host Wendy Williams discussed her 6th book “Ask Wendy”. Inspired by a 1-hour segment on her radio show, “Ask Wendy” advises her audience on how to deal with a variety of problems. The book’s chapters deal with queries about online issues, kids, friendship obstacles, and those around the workplace. For each topic division, the approach taken to an answer is best described by the author: “Tough talk equals straight understanding”; this essentially means an honest and direct method is needed to solve your problems.

After the book was discussed, fans asked their own questions. At the end of the "Q and A", those with books had the chance to get them signed by Wendy Williams. Williams also obliged the attendees of the event by taking pictures with them as she was signing.

About Wendy Williams: Wendy has had a 23-year career in radio, hosting shows on stations such as Hot 103.9, W.P.L.J, and KISS. Her talk show -“The Wendy Show”-is currently in its 4th season. Her latest project is preparing for her role as Matron Mama Morton in the Broadway musical “Chicago”(the limited run begins June 25th, 2013 and ends August 11th, 2013).
