Looking for a way to get some attention for your work?

Bad Situations

The next installment of the innovative Tandem Reading Series will be at 5pm this Sunday, March 11. Brooks Sherman, associate agent at FinePrint Literary Management, will moderate a reading and panel of works of crime fiction. Performing, we have...

Dan Krokos, reading from his yet-unpublished adult thriller THE BETTER GUY, in which an addict ambulance driver spends his nights driving the getaway car for his uncle, a contract killer; and Jen Conley, reading about an eleven-year-old boy who ducks, hides, and tries to survive the brutal hold-up of a convenience store.

Following the panel, there will be a reception with wine and refreshments.

As ever, the Tandem Reading Series is held at the Cell Theatre, 338 West 23 St. (between 8 and 9 Ave.; take the 1, C, E to 23rd St.; www.thecelltheatre.org <http://www.thecelltheatre.org> ). 212-989-7434. Donation: $5. Or you can hand in a story; if we like it, we’ll invite you to read at a later date.

Hope to see you there!
