New Year News

Read650 City Winery Event Postponed

As you know, Covid cases in the New York City area are increasing. The total reported for this past week was the highest of the pandemic, and the test positivity rate is high.

Safety is our first priority and, in addition to Broadway shows and other indoor NYC entertainment events, our scheduled January 9 Read650 show at City Winery has now been canceled. We plan to present a show at City Winery on Sunday, March 13 and we'll share event details once confirmed. Thank you for understanding, and please continue to stay safe.

Thank you!

We set a goal of $10,000 for this year's annual appeal. Thanks to the 58 donors who responded with their generous tax deductible year-end gifts, we received $10,085 by New Year's Day. We are so grateful for your generous support and look forward to continuing to serve our mission to promote writers in the year ahead.

Call for Submissions

Read650 is interested in short, personal meditations about any and all aspects of writing and the writing life for the “Between the Lines” segment of our podcast series. Do you have some thoughts, observations, or hard-earned wisdom to share about writing—or about not writing, and the many ways you’ve discovered to procrastinate? About developing your writer voice? About some sage advice from a mentor? The struggle to have something published? Why—and how—do you write? And why does writing matter?
