New Crown Heights reading series, from their FB page:

Hope you can join us for great lit and brews at the 4th edition of the Manhattanville Reading Series, a monthly happening for emerging writers at Crown Heights cafe Manhattanville Coffee.

April’s featured reader is innovative short fiction star and Electric Literature editor-in-chief Lincoln Michel (Upright Beasts). He’ll be joined by up-and-comers Kyle Lucia Wu (Joyland, The Rumpus), Annabel Graham (Atticus Review, Corium), and Julia Phillips (The Rumpus, The Brooklyn Quarterly).

Manhattanville is a sister series to Crown Heights’s long-running lit event, the Franklin Park Reading Series. If you’re interested in reading at an upcoming event, please send 3-5 pages of prose and a short bio to manhattanvillereadingseries@gmail.com. We’re seeking writers who’ve published work online or in print but haven’t yet released a book.
