Longreads has spent the last 10 years celebrating some of the world’s best storytelling and sharing it with readers everywhere. They’re presenting an evening of live storytelling with some of their favorite writers. Hosted by Longreads founder Mark Armstrong & editor in chief Mike Dang – SoHo Events

Featuring…

Morgan Jerkins, author of the New York Times bestseller, This Will Be My Undoing. Her short form work has been featured in The New Yorker, The New York Times, Rolling Stone, ELLE, and The Cut, among many others.

Laura Lippman, award-winning crime novelist and New York Times bestseller. She has published more than 20 novels, a novella, a short story anthology and a book for children. Her latest book is Lady in the Lake, a crime novel set in 1960s Baltimore.

Choire Sicha, editor for the Styles desk of The New York Times, and co-founder of The Awl in 2009. Author of Very Recent History.

Anne Thériault, Toronto-based writer whose bylines can be found all over the internet, including at the Guardian, the London Review of Books and, obviously, Longreads. She truly believes that your favorite Tudor wife says more about you than your astrological sign, and will be happy to do a one-on-one consult with you on that. She is currently raising one child and three unruly cats.

Elisabet Velasquez, a Boricua Writer from Bushwick, Brooklyn, whose work has been featured in Muzzle Magazine, Winter Tangerine, Centro Voces, Latina Magazine, We Are Mitú, Tidal, and more.
