Devoted to publishing, publishers and to those who craft the written word

If you are in the New York area, I've got a couple events for you--my Thanksgiving present for fledgling writers around here.

I can't stress this enough: writing careers depend on community. The friends you make at an event like this can point you to the next magazine, book idea, or friend who can help you in this hairy business.

First off, a crowd of literary magazines will convene in Brooklyn at the beginning of December.  Check it out:

"The Legion of Lit Mags includes: Ballyhoo Stories, BOMB, Opium, Pindeldyboz, Post Road, Quick Fiction, Small Spiral Notebook, Swink, and Tin House. On December 2, the Legion of Lit Mags hosts author readings and a meet-and-greet with editors at Galapagos Art Space ... December 2, 2006 at Galapagos Art Space, Williamsburg, Brooklyn (5 to 10 pm) FREE."   

Finally, Five Easy Questions hero Richard Grayson will be supporting a brand new literary anthology next Monday in Manhattan. Visit the website for more information:

"Mo Pitkins House of Satisfaction in Manhattan on Avenue A between 2nd and 3rd Streets. Two writers, Richard Grayson and Dominic Preziosi, will be reading the terrific stories we're publishing in the Avery anthology."
