Promoting long-form reading in a short-form world
Inspired by Seattle's popular silent Reading Party, the idea is this: gather in a public place and read a book of your choosing (to yourself). So no talking. The difference between this and a library is that you can quietly order and consume food and drinks. We'll have a mixer from 6-6:45 so you can get acquainted with your fellow readers and local writers (many published by co-sponsor Press 53) before the reading begins.
Each Bookup designates a local non-profit organization that focuses on reading and literacy. This one will collect donations to Authoring Action. Book donations to CAC's Lending Library also welcome.
Check the Facebook page for The Bookup or @TheBookup on Twitter for updates on who will be there.
Come and be part of a new social and reading experience!
Wish I could go - sounds like fun!
