Next Manhattan Mystery Reading Saturday, September 7! (Immediately Followed by Proofreading Slam!)
September 7 @ 12:00 pm
Come hear three MWA-NY authors read from their work on Saturday September 7, starting at noon in the 58th Street Library (127 East 58th Street, between Park and Lexington Avenues): Philip Cioffari (novelist, playwright, and writing teacher ); Nancy Good (author of New York-based humorous mysteries; and Ken Jaworowski (New York Times editor whose first novel was an Edgar nominee this year).
Then stay for our first Proofreading Slam, a new in-person and online initiative to support members who have a work-in-progress. Board member Nev March, Sheila Mayhew, or Beth Mannion will sit with you to proofread up to twenty pages of your WIP. All participants must attend with printed pages (1″ margins, double-spaced). If your WIP is already under contract, please also attend with your press’s style sheet (this need not be printed if it’s long; you can call it up on your laptop or tablet … just not on a phone, please, too small!). We’ll be sending out an email blast closer to the date with more details and for members to register. We expect to be able to accommodate 6-9 authors in this first Slam.
