Lit Bit: Be the First to Hear Fresh Work

You can be the first to hear freshly-squeezed fiction, non-fiction, poetry and more from the first Write Here Write Now Anthology.  Select authors published in the anthology will read from their work at the CityLit Festival.

The CityLit Festival is one of the most popular events in the Baltimore literary community.  It takes place on April 19th, Enoch Pratt Library in downtown Baltimore.

The official release of the new anthology isn't until late May, so this is your opportunity to get a special sneak peek at the work.  The anthology includes fiction, non-fiction, poetry, even short plays.  There's something in the anthology for everyone.  Featured authors reading their work will include Rick Connor, Fernando Quijano III, Nicole Walton, Tamara Keurejian, Barbara Friedland, Holly Myers, Mare Cromwell, Eric D. Goodman, Nancy O. Greene, and Leo Horrigan.

The reading takes place at 3:30 at the CityLit Festival.  The reading - like the festival - is free and open to the public.
