When I first moved to Brooklyn last January, I was overwhelmed by the number of literary events. Every night featured several worthwhile readings, and at least once a week something spectacular totally slipped past my radar.

I have come to depend upon the literary event calendars and previews at The Contextual Life, Book Stalker, and Slice Magazine, among others, but none seemed comprehensive enough for my needs.

A couple of months ago I decided to create a website dedicated to NYC literary events. Since my time is already filled with Largehearted Boy, writing, and reading, I knew I needed a co-conspirator, someone who loved readings as much as I did. Fortunately for me and the resulting site, Gabrielle Gantz, the blogger behind the culture site The Contextual Life and book publicist, shared my vision and gladly signed on.

Book Boroughing, our new project, launched today, and consists of a NYC literary events calendar, as well as a blog and podcast that will feature event recaps and interviews with authors, event coordinators, and people associated with the city’s literary scene. The site is a work in progress, and new readings are added continually.

Follow us on Twitter for a continuous stream of NYC literary event news.

This is wonderful! Reblogging for any NYC-based bibliophiles who might be following me.
