The Italian-American Writers Association (IAWA) hosts monthly events at the Jefferson Market Library located in Greenwich Village in NYC. The first hour is open mic - there are 10 first to sign-up-get-to-read-for-5-minutes slots and the second hour features two authors who read and then take audience Q&A. Kathy, Pat and Angela are all members of IAWA. Kathy is also on their board. And on Saturday, 11/18, Pat will be one of the featured authors.
