Readings in Brooklyn

I recently gave a reading at the inimitable BookCourt in Brooklyn, furnished by the Brooklyn Writers Space annex. Check out the 2010-2011 line-up!

Mat Johnson's Advice to Book Clubbers

A friend of mine recently posted a video in response to an unpleasant visit to a book club meeting.

Hilariously amazing. Watch it, here.

Writopia Lab

I'm involved in an awesome NYC-based nonprofit, Writopia Lab, which offers creative writing workshops to kids ages 8-18. And they deserve a shout-out!

Tots, tweens, and teens can take workshops in fiction, nonfiction, poetry, and playwriting, and there are now branches in Brooklyn, D.C., and L.A. Spread the word!
