We want you to enjoy the last lazy days of summer, really we do. (Hopefully with a good book.) But we are also just too excited about September to wait until after Labor Day to share what we have planned. So here is a preview of what we suspect will be a super September of events at WORD:
Wed. Sept. 8 at 7:30 PM: Paperback launch for The Adderall Diaries. Our pal Stephen Elliott returns to WORD to celebrate the paperback release of his book, and will be joined by Melissa Febos, author of Whip Smart.
Fri. Sept. 10 at 8 PM: WORD presents an intimate conversation with John Waters. This is a Brooklyn Book Festival Bookends event – reserve your ticket now! John Waters will be interviewed by Carolyn Kellogg of the LA Times and Waters will answer questions and sign books. Join us at this epic Greenpoint event on Friday night, and then come visit our booth at the Festival on Sunday, Sept. 12.
Thurs. Sept. 16 at 7:30 PM: Save the Assistants Reading + Contest with Lilit Marcus. The founder of the Save the Assistants website will read from her new book. Several actual assistants will join Lilit Marcus to share their stories too. And in the spirit of “bad bosses bring people together” we will sponsor a contest that will reward some of the very best (meaning worst) assistant stories we receive. Send stories to [email protected] by Sept. 14th.
Fri. Sept. 24 at 7:30 PM: Launch Party for Susan Henderson’s Up From the Blue. Susan Henderson, founder of Litpark, will read from her debut novel, answer questions and sign copies. We’ll have wine too!
