Where

Multiple venues throughout Brooklyn

Price

Free

At 11 subway stations in Brooklyn, small candy colored issues of One Story, each of which will contain one story by a Brooklyn author, will be flying fast, furious and free right into your hands if you're part of the morning rush hour crunch. While we'd love to think this was timed with the launch of our Brooklyn site, it's actually aimed to get the word out about the reading by One Story authors James Hannaham (God Says No), Reif Larsen (The Collected Works of T.S. Spivet) and Caedra Scott-Flaherty at the Brooklyn Book Festival on September 12. To make your rush hour travels even sweeter, each issue given out will include an invitation to the reading.

Multiple venues throughout Brooklyn says…

Award-winning magazine One Story has published 140 issues since their inception in April 2002. Now, together with The Brooklyn Arts Council and The Brooklyn Book Festival, they will carry out the “One Story, One Borough” campaign, which will flood Brooklyn subways with short stories in the days leading up to The Brooklyn Book Festival. Volunteers will be handing out free copies of the magazine during rush hour that Wednesday, in an effort to promote the short story and introduce new readers to One Story.
