650 | From A to LGBTQ
2017 has been an exciting year for storytelling. After stalking The Moth for two years, I finally got the nerve to put my name in the hat…. and I was picked! I told a 5-minute version of Crazy Joe, which was previously published in the Westchester Review. On June 4th, I signed up for a Pros(e) of Pie open mic at Muddy Water in Tarrytown.
This coming Sunday, June 11th, I am so fortunate to have been selected as a featured reader at the 650 | Writers Read (A to LGBTQ) event at Sarah Lawrence College.
