JMWW Extends an Invitation You Shouldn't Refuse

JMWW, the popular literary journal based in Baltimore, invites you to a celebration of the first three years of print anthologies featuring the best work from the online quarterly.

 

This is the anthology series and literary journal that the Baltimore City Paper says "hooks you from the fist paragraph.  A hybrid of poetry and prose, of cold-blooded talent pigtailed with aspiring word artists, JMWW has a cough-syrup twang that keeps you reading. Something addictive about it provokes the dormant writer within."  

 

My story, "Futures," is featured in volume II of the trilogy - and everyone knows act two is the best, right?

 

That's debatable, because all three volumes of this anthology series offers something for everyone.   This Saturday at Cyclops Bookstore, authors from the second and third anthologies will share their work.

Here's your invitation - directly from JMWW:

 

Cyclops Bookstore (formerly The Baltimore ChopShop) and JMWW (http://jmww.150m.com) are proud to celebrate JMWW's authors with a special evening featuring readings from the second and third anthologies. Join editor Jen Michalski along with writers Jessica Anya Blau, William Duell, Pete Pazmino, Justin Sirois, Joseph Young, Savannah Schroll Guz, and Eric D. Goodman. Copies of the third anthology will be on sale for $7. Join us for the best pizza in town at Joe Squared afterward.

 

Cyclops is right on the corner of Maryland and North, and there is PLENTY of parking on both avenues. Cyclops will even pay for your meter - just park and come in real quick for some change. After 6 is free too!

Date: Saturday, June 6, 2009

Time: 5 p.m. to 7:00 p.m.

Location: Cyclops

Street: 30 W. North Ave., Baltimore, Maryland
