State by State reading with editor Sean Wilsey and writer Jed Lipinski

We’re hosting an event to celebrate the paperback release of State by State, a wonderful collection of essays from acclaimed writers, about the states they love.  We’re running a contest in the same spirit – called Neighborhood by Neighborhood. Write an essay about your favorite part of NYC: from Washington Heights to Vinegar Hill to, of course – Greenpoint. Send submissions to kelly@wordbrooklyn.com by November 12th to be entered. Winner gets an autographed copy of the book, a gift certificate to WORD and a chance to read their piece at the event. Sean and Jed will talk about the process of creating a collaborative book like this collection. (If you can’t attend the event you can still enter the contest!) Facebook RSVP here.
