in the interests of further cultivating and connecting the literary community of Memphis, story booth is hosting the second edition of Crosstown Arts’ Working Writers’ Cocktail Hour to help usher in the second-annual Mid-South Book Festival.

presenting authors in town for the festival are welcome, college and MFA students to early/mid-career/accomplished (meaning published and not-yet-published) writers who live and work in Memphis are welcome too. whether writers of poetry, fiction, creative nonfiction, screenwriting, playwriting, journalism, art writing, music writing—all are invited to visit story booth for an hour or so to do what it normally takes an expensive retreat to make happen: bring a group of writers together to stand around, have a drink, and make connections with other working writers they may or may not have known before.

whether or not your day-job is writing makes no difference — if you’re a working writer, you’re invited.
