The Pinch Journal Release Party

Join the staff of The Pinch Literary Journal for revelry, merriment, and general hooligantry as we officially release to you our latest issue.

Featuring two authors from the journal: cat-wrangling best-american poet diva Emma Bolden and friend-to-bats, hardcore coffee-drinking fiction guy Nickalus Rupert.

Plus a mixtape highlighting the best of Prince and the Revolution.

Also, a silent auction with some of the best things we’ve ever brought to a Pinch party. We will have a hard time not fighting for these baskets ourselves, so come make a bid and help raise funds to keep our journal in print.

Last, but never least, Hot Mess Burritos will be parked out front, we’ll have Wiseacre beer on tap, and, as usual, a healthy offering of Pinch punch.

Join us!

When Writers Unite

UGenius Inc presents its first local fundraiser/artist showcase, featuring writers of all kinds (poets, rappers, singers, etc.) delivering a positive message to our community and to our youth.

All proceeds will be used to provide personal hygiene items and back-to-school supplies, as well as funding the purchase of movies, books, etc. that will be shown and explained at local community center events bi-monthly.

Attendees are also welcome to bring nonperishable items for donation.

working writers’ cocktail hour

in the interests of further cultivating and connecting the literary community of Memphis, story booth is excited to host Crosstown Arts’ first working writers’ cocktail hour.

MFA students to early/mid-career/accomplished writers (meaning published and not-yet-published)—whether they be writers of poetry, fiction, creative nonfiction, screenwriting, playwriting, journalism, art writing—are all welcome here 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.
