Midtown Reader is excited to celebrate the holidays with our annual Holiday Open House! This year we're welcoming several local writers and a visual artist for a festive meet-and-greet and shopping experience. We'll have wine and snacks, authors will be available to chat and personalize books, and Midtown Reader staff will be available for complimentary gift wrapping.

This year's Holiday Open House will be hosted by poets Barbara Hamby and David Kirby, and will feature authors Ann and Jeff VanderMeer, poet Dami Aderibigbe, author Ravi Howard, poet Mary Jane Ryals, middle grade author Faith Harkey, and visual artist Pattie Maney.
