Raising the Bar(bes)
Oh, I live to put bad puns in my blog entry titles.
Tonight is my first writing group meeting. I'm referring to it as Write Club, thereby revealing my propensity for terrible puns yet again, but it doesn't have an official name because it's just the three of us doing our thing and trying to help each other out. I am looking forward to not being damned with faint praise for the 194857834th time in my life.
But I'm not here to write about that. I'm here to write about the reading series that I currently co-curate with Robyn. We're having our first event this Sunday. Here are all the details:
Sunday, September 18, 2005 at 6 p.m.
The Barbes Reading Series kicks off its 2005-06 season with a stellar set of readings from:
Robyn Schneider - Robyn Schneider is a reluctantly stereotyped young adult chick lit writer living on the Upper West Side. If she's feeling argumentative, she may claim that her writing is chick literary, whatever that means. She is a Barnard College student, former teacher in a Korean private school (don't ask) and oddly popular blogger. Her debut novel, BETTER THAN YESTERDAY, is forthcoming from Random House Delacorte. Her work has been published online and in print by the Orange County Register, Better Non Sequitur, AbsoluteWrite and many others. She also runs a scandalous online query database called Correspondences with YA Fiction Agents, and she is the co-curator of this here reading series.
Nick Mamatas - Nick Mamatas was nominated for both the Bram Stoker and International Horror Guild awards for the Lovecraftian Beat road novel MOVE UNDER GROUND. (Night Shade Books, 2004). His essays and fiction have appeared in the Village Voice, Razor, the UK Guardian, Polyphony, Strange Horizons, various Disinformation Books anthologies and dozens of other venues.
Jonathan Ames - Jonathan Ames is the author of six books, including Wake Up, Sir!, and the forthcoming I Love You More Than You Know in February 2006.
Barbes is located at 6th Avenue and 9th Street in Park Slope, Brooklyn.
