Readings
& Events
I’m passionate about bringing writers together, to shine, perform, listen, and clap for one another. Over the years, I have cofounded, curated, featured in, and hosted hundreds of literary events. My monthly open mic, Saturday Night Special, has been running since 2011. All are welcome!
I’ll be headed out on tour this summer with my new book Lions Like Us. Hope to see you! Scroll down for details.
