Podcast
The Tannery Series now has a podcast. At first we'll be featuring recordings of our events, but we'll be adding other snappy content over the coming months. Make your commute a little more provocative and entertaining.
About
The Tannery Reading Series brings authors to the North Shore whose writing confronts the world in essential and curious ways. Showcasing newly evolving as well as traditional forms, burgeoning talent and the well-loved names of our age, the events create something smart, combustible and fun.
The reading series will take place three times over the course of 2011 at the Tannery Mall’s Jabberwocky Bookshop, in historic Newburyport.
Our next event, As I Lay Dying, will take place October 15th at 7pm.
