Readings, lectures, and other appearances

I have so much news and it all involves me talking in front of you. That’s exciting because 1/I like talking and 2/I like you. Details:

There’s a little lull before the end of the Mere tour, but in the meantime, I’ll be reading alongside Baratunde Thurston, Molly Birnbaum, and Ori Fienberg at the next round of Literary Death Match in Boston: September 12, OBERON in Harvard Square. I’m trying to decide if I should read forthcoming work or in-progress work. There’s only one way to figure out which I choose.
I just found out where I’ll be reading at the Baltimore Book Festival! Look for me at the CityLit Stage on Saturday, September 29 at 6:30pm along with Michael Kimball, Robb Todd, Elissa Schappell, Patrick King, and Nancy Murray. Also, there will be wine and music. And I’ll be reading my favorite section from Mere. You should be there.
I’m teaming up with Erica Mena-Landry from Anomalous Press to share a table/plan a reading for the 2013 AWP conference. Readers signed on thus far include Josh Denslow, Jeannie Greeley, Nicolette Kittinger, Steven LaFond, and Dolan Morgan, with more in the works. March is going to knock Boston’s socks to shreds.
This fall, Randolph and I will be giving a presentation on publishing at BU as part of a class called Boston Writing Now. I’m so excited about this. Last time I gave a presentation for apt, Randolph couldn’t be there, but I met so many great people as a result of that engagement, so I’ve got high hopes for this.
And last, but never, ever least, the next Literary Firsts is around the corner–Monday, October 15. The full list of readers will be announced next week!

See you soon!
