SSC Student Allyson W. Wants YOU…

...to come to the All StoryStudio Sunday Salon, this Sunday night! 

From Allyson:

Greetings all,

Some of you might be interested to know that next Sunday, June 29th, I will be taking part in the Sunday Salon Chicago reading series, along with three other StoryStudio students. I’ll be reading excerpts from my short story “Stolen Child,” most notable among this particular email list for being the portfolio piece that I complained about at every possible opportunity this past March. If you’re curious to see how that turned out, or just find yourself hungry for some prose this
Sunday night, I hope you’ll drop by and clap/heckle/throw rotten fruit as you see fit!

The reading is on Sunday, June 29th, at 7:30 PM, at Charleston Bar (2076 N. Hoyne Ave., in Bucktown). For more information about Sunday Salon Chicago, or to read the bios for next Sunday’s readers, check out http://www.sundaysalonchicago.com .

Hope to see you there!
