Five emerging and established writers will answer this question at this month’s edition of the Scrappy Reading Series, an official 2025 Brooklyn Book Festival Bookend Event. Join us at Compère Collective as these writers share how they interpret “scrappy,” and how they embody this in their writing lives, personal lives, love lives, and any other type of life they are living. This month’s lineup includes: Jamie Hood, Arianna Rebolini, Veena Dinavahi, Elissa Bassist, and Ashley D. Escobar.

Also enjoy the exhibit XO by local artist, Nelsena Burt-Spano, a collection of mixed media pieces made with found objects from places like Red Hook, Gowanus, and Carroll Gardens. Her pieces express the good and bad, love and hate living together in a place that is both ironic and beautiful.

Inspired by the master’s series course, “Scrappy: How To Build an Alternative Literary Life” (offered by Off Assignment and led by author Chloé Caldwell), Brooklyn writer Farah Faye began this series to bring together published and unpublished writers to explore what it means to be scrappy.

Admission is free, scrappiness required. Drinks and snacks will be served!

Space is limited – register here to attend!
