The exciting, literary reading series for Wrimos and the wide world of local writers who dare to write greatly (or you know, who dare to write anything at all, which totally counts).

Melanie Abrams is a writer, editor, and photographer, and the author of the forthcoming novel Meadowlark (Little A). Her novel Playing (Grove Atlantic) has been acquired in Italy, France, Germany, India, and Israel. She teaches writing at UC Berkeley and is married to the writer Vikram Chandra. They live with their children in Oakland, CA.

Come listen to her read, then partake in a mini-writing challenge and enjoy what promises to be a raucous Q&A. Please join our hosts Shannon Monroe and Rachael Herron, on Wednesday, February 12th, at 7.00 p.m., at Novel Brewing, 6510 San Pablo Ave, Oakland. Support your fellow, local authors and help us celebrate NaNoWriMo all year long! Write on!
