Grimes and Writing Center Readings

Be sure to come out to the Roosevelt Reading Series Event tonight to spend an evening with novelist, playwright, and memoirist, Tom Grimes. Read an excerpt of Mentor beforehand, and consider supporting your writer by picking up a copy at the Reading, which you can get signed at the dinner to follow. Mentor is freshly released by Tin House.

And tomorrow, dine on pizza and sip refreshments at the Halloween Reading hosted at the Writing Center (Room 650) from 4:30-6pm. Winners of the 2cd Annual Flash Fiction contest will be announced and their stories read. Writers were asked to write a story on fear--the results were not only stimulating, but also creepy and fantastic.
