The Book Report Reading

Once upon a time you were in third grade and you had to give book reports and it was awesome. The Book Report promises to deliver exactly what it promises: reports on books by the people who’ve read them. Join Leigh Stein and Sasha Fletcher and assorted literate guests for an evening that will remind you of 3rd grade in the best possible way.

Chelsea Hodson

Chelsea Hodson, a 2012 PEN Center USA Emerging Voices Fellow, has worked as a reporter, a copy editor, a fourth grade teacher, and a Space Grant Intern for NASA’s Phoenix Mars Mission. Her chapbook, Beach Camp, was published in 2010 and her new work is in the forthcoming issue of Black Warrior Review. She lives in Brooklyn and is currently writing a personal essay collection.

Micaela Blei

Micaela Blei is a teacher, writer, storyteller and doctoral student. She is a Moth GrandSLAM Champion and has told stories onstage in approximately 5 other states besides New York. Micaela was a 3rd grade teacher for a long time and misses it. When it’s above 50 degrees, she can be found on her bicycle all over New York City.
