Celebrating one year of Under the BQE Press!

Extremely cheap beer while supplies last thanks to Five Boroughs Brewing! Unsolicited writing prompts on every coaster! And so much underground literary talent on one stage that you may completely conceptualize and birth your next best seller JK Rowling style on a bar nap before you even leave Mama Tried! (I swear.)

Our flash reading series involves snippets of works-in-progress no longer than 5 minutes. Meet our next BQE author Judson Merrill and hear a little flash from his forthcoming novel Paranoid Storytelling along with friends Brian Russ (of the band Hand Gestures), Leo Kouklanakis (of the band Katzin), Heidi Diehl (Lifelines) & Stephen Aubrey (The Assembly). All to a sweet cosmic funk soundtrack provided by The Vinyl Historian.

Books and possibly some merch for sale if I can motivate myself to screenprint some sweatshirts & t-shirts. And birthday cake!
