THE GEORGIA REVIEW AND MO PITKINS HOUSE OF SATISFACTION PRESENT:
THE BEST TWO BROOKLYN WRITERS YOU HAVEN’T HEARD OF (YET)
Who: Writers Michael Donohue and René Houtrides
The Georgia Review, one of the nation’s preeminent literary quarterlies, is proud to present two of its contributors in a reading coinciding with the journal’s nomination as a finalist in the 2007 National Magazine Awards.
Michael Donohue is a resident of Brooklyn, where he teaches at St. Ann’s school. He is the author of the National Magazine Award-nominated essay “Russell and Mary” published in the Fall/Winter 2006 edition of The Georgia Review.
René Houtrides’ first published story, “Knife, Barn, My Harvey,” is forthcoming in the Spring 2007 issue of The Georgia Review. She lives in Brooklyn and works at Bard College.
Though both of these writers are early in their publishing careers, the high quality of their respective work commands attention. See them now, for free, because once the rest of the world realizes what both The Georgia Review and the National Magazine Awards have, the sky’s the limit.
The National Magazine Awards have been presented annually for 41 years. They honor magazines, whether in print or online, that consistently demonstrate superior execution of editorial objectives, innovative editorial techniques, noteworthy journalistic enterprise and imaginative design. The awards are presented at a gala evening event hosted by the American Society of Magazine Editors.
The reading is free and open to the public
