Women Working in Panels:
Have a Drink with a Panel of Female Graphic Novelists and Cartoonists as they Discuss Drawing, Writing and Publishing in this Macho World.
Featuring… Rebecca Donner, Fly, Miriam Katin, Leslie Stein, Sara Varon & Lauren Weinstein and moderated by the lovely, Children's Librarian and blogger, Betsy Bird (aka "Fuse #8").
The Desk Set--a New York–based circle of librarians and bibliophiles who socialize, explore the worlds of libraries and literacy and support good causes—have put together this special evening to benefit the literary arts nonprofit organization Behind the Book, a home-grown nonprofit that promotes literacy and strives to cultivate a love of reading for low-income students in New York City public schools. It does so by bringing authors & illustrators into the classroom to conduct curriculum-integrated writing and art workshops with students. These workshops are ongoing, providing a rich experience for students; authors, illustrators and publishing professionals come back again and again, forming unique collaborative relationships with students and teachers.
The good folk at Huckleberry Bar welcome you with a free draft beer with the suggested donation of $10. Give Behind the Book even more love by entering our raffle—an exciting opportunity to win original artwork from one of our featured novelists, as well as super-fun goodies from local stores & literary arts organizations. All raffle proceeds go directly to Behind the Book.
