Ideasmyth Presents: Booked Breakfasts at The Writers Room
A cuppa joe and brainfood to go!

New York, NY (November 18, 2013): Ideasmyth  continues its Booked Breakfast series of casual book-club-meets-book-signing-meets-quality-nosh-confab featuring Stacey Harwood, the Managing Editor of the award winning Best American Poetry blog. Join Ideasmyth at The Writers Room to get the inside story on how the BAP blog has developed into what NPR’s Ken Tucker calls a “lively and energetic” resource for writers. Stacey will discuss how a group blog can be an effective means to complement and build a brand, foster lasting relationships among writers, and provide a platform for established and emerging writers to explore their passions without editorial interference. One guest blogger’s book had its genesis in a series of blog posts; another’s was included in the annual Best American Music Writing.  The Best American Poetry blog is regularly ranked among the top sites for poetry and poetry lovers and draws a wide international readership. This series is graciously hosted by The Writers Room, located just south of Astor Place, and will take place 8:30-10am.

Also at this Booked Breakfast:
Start-up baking company Carpe Dough’em will be serving minulatti, warm savory rolls, from her Italian family’s heirloom recipe. She welcomes all taste-test feedback, except indifference.

We will also serve coffee from Third Rail Coffee.
