Join us on Friday, February 7, from 8-10 pm for the Poets & Writers' Get The Word Out 2023 Fiction Cohort Reading. This event will feature Christina Cooke (Broughtupsy), Lena Valencia (Mystery Lights), Alisa Alering (Smothermoss), Esinam Bediako (Blood on the Brain), and Parul Kapur (Inside the Mirror)--five of the ten debut authors who participated in Poets & Writers' Get The Word Out Publicity Incubator in 2023.

The event, free and open to the public, will include a brief reading from each author followed by an audience Q&A moderated by book publicist May Zhee Lim. Books will be available for sale at the event.

This event is funded in part by Poets & Writers with public funds from the New York State Council on the Arts with the support of the Office of the Governor and the New York State Legislature; and through public funds from the New York City Department of Cultural Affairs, in partnership with the City Council.
