Los
Angeles, CA: In 2010 I created Writers’ Row: Downtown Los Angeles’ Official
Written Art Showcase. It began as a showcase of Writers during downtown’s
popular monthly Art Walk. From this, interest grew, but a quieter space was
needed. In 2011, I partnered with Peter Woods and the Last Bookstore. Their
beautiful and historic venue provided a unique home to Writers’ Row giving it the
nurturing it needed. While our tenure at the Last Bookstore is coming to a
close for 2012, the New Year brings many hopes for the event as it continues as
a quarterly salon, still in the heart of downtown LA at a private loft in the
Brewery Artist Colony.
I
am exceptionally proud of Writers’ Row and what has been accomplished. Since its
conception, downtown LA’s literary scene has continued to explode and build
together as a solid network, with The Last Bookstore and Writers’ Row as a hub
for organizing and coming together.
This
series has always been of no charge to the people, and has grown to represent
the creative works of Los Angeles as a whole, and has developed a respectable
reputation to both published and unpublished authors including Brendan
Constantine, Terry Wolverton, S.A. Griffin, and many more!
With
its founding principles aligned with the mission of the Los Angles Poet
Society, also founded by Los Angeles Poet, Jessica M. Wilson, “to fuse
communities of Los Angeles into a unified social and literary network”, Writers’
Row will continue to thrive and feature the talents of this eclectic city.
