“Beyond the Slushpile: A Magazine Roundtable” Panel At McNally Jackson

One of the most exciting things about living near NYC are not the bars, clubs, restaurants, or the museums. It’s nice that they’re there, and I enjoy going to them here and there, but what I really love are the events. I’ll go ahead and say it: the FREE events. The Brooklyn Book Festival draws some of the most interesting speakers and panels (I saw Salman Rushdie one year and Amitav Ghosh the next).  There’s the PEN Festival that hosts a very international affair, where I saw Deborah Treisman (New Yorker Fiction Editor) for the first time in person where she moderated a panel on the modern short-story. And then there’s the Asian Writer’s Workshop, as well as a handful of great independent bookshops…
