Zine Reading and Workshop, Tomorrow!

The event below not only features me, LNR, leading a zine making workshop (yes, like with real paper, pens and scissors), but readings by riffRAG friends and contributors, yay!
Come join us!

Cup and Pen Small Press Reading Series & the Barnard Zine Library
present
a One-Two Zine Reading and Zine Making Event Combination
(and we saved you ringside seats)~

Wednesday October 10th, 2007
8pm-10pm
Free as a bird!

Small press enthusiasts, littérateurs and zine-heads unite! Come to listen actively, converse heartily and drink organic beverages (now including wine and cheese) slowly with the Cup and Pen Small Press Reading Series. Cup and Pen, a twice-monthly small press reading series in the back room of Think Coffee, hopes to create a series in which readers discover new presses to support and introduce emerging writers to publishers. Huzzah!

Leaning into the romantic chill of a new fall, we are more than amped to announce that the Barnard Zine Library will be making literary smores overs the flame of our passion! Join us for a one two combination featuring a collection of women zinsters such as Sabrina Chapadjiev (Cliterature), Betsy Housten (You Should Know), Tya Kagamas (i am the city) and Jennie Rose Halperin (So, you're a Freshman? Or, how I learned to stop worrying and love college) reading from their work, followed by a zine making event (materials provided!) lead by the illimitable Eleanor Whitney (riffRag)! No one walks away without an ear full of opinions and a hand sticky with gluestick. Expertly curated by Zine librarian Jenna Freedman and dutifully emceed by Rebecca Alvarez.
