A New York Times Writeup for the Author/Blogger Series!

One recent project I’m really excited about is the launch of a new event series at Brooklyn’s Greenlight Bookstore that pairs up New York City bloggers with writers for reading and thoughtful conversation—Monday night, several of us braved the falling snow (and the half-functioning subway system) to meet Marie Mutsuki Mockett (left), the author of Picking Bones from Ash, and Amanda ReCupido, the creator of The Undomestic Goddess.

The audience included a freelance journalist named Lori Adelman, who took the photo above and wrote about the event for The Local, a neighborhood blog hosted by the New York Times. The article does a great job of capturing the enthusiasm that those of us in attendance had for the discussion that followed a brief scene from Marie’s novel, as we touched upon a variety of literary and feminist themes. I’m hoping the folks to come to see Maud Newton interview Victor LaValle next month can match that intensity.
