SUMMARY:Take it from a Fiction Reader!/Class
DESCRIPTION:Take it from a Fiction reader: getting your short story passed the first round at Lit mags! \nThis class meets Sept. 21\, 1-4 and Sept. 22\, 1-4. A zoom option is available.\nAt Porchlight:\nIowa City\, 1019 E Washington St\, Iowa City\, IA 52240\, USA \nLed by Nicole Vanderlinden What happens to your short story once you’ve submitted it to literary journals? Who reads your piece\, and what happens next? Although each venue runs things a little differently\, almost all have a first-pass read\, which is where most stories end their journeys. In this weekend-long workshop\, you’ll learn strategies for breaking through that screening read to move on to the next level (and\, hopefully\, to publication!). Using expertise gained from a published writer and long-time fiction reader at Ploughshares and other journals\, you’ll learn about common pitfalls that keep readers from turning the page\, and you’ll polish the first three pages of a story so that first-pass readers stay engaged and curious . . . right up to the end. You’ll also learn about different tools for finding journals and tracking your submissions. This session will be half discussion\, half workshop. All participants are invited to bring in three pages of a recent story to polish. (Additional manuscript consultation available as an add-on service; please see https://www.porchlightliterary.org/about-5 for details. All workshop participants receive a 10% discount on Nicole’s offerings.)

SUMMARY:Iowa City Kitty Walk
DESCRIPTION:FAQ: What is a cat walk?!?\nOur cat walk is modeled after the one in Minneapolis‘ Wedge Neighborhood. \nCats get to stay in their house and we go see them! \nThink of it as a parody of a parade of homes or a garden tour. \nWhat if I don’t live in the neighborhood? Can I still join?\nYes!! Of course. Meet at Lucas and Market and you can walk with us! \nHow much walking is involved?\nDepending on who signs up it might be two miles or so. \nBe prepared with good walking shoes\, some water\, and treats for yourself. \nAre dogs allowed on the walk?\nNo because cats rule and dogs drool. \nDoggies are actually pretty cool\, but some cats might not like them so it’s best to leave them at home. \nFollow Iowa City Kitty Walk on Instagram at @ickittywalk for updates or to register your house for the parade.

SUMMARY:The Two Tracks
DESCRIPTION:The James Theater presents The Two Tracks\, Friday\, September 20th\, 2024. \n  \n\n\nThe Two Tracks draw inspiration from the rural surroundings of their home in the foothils of the Bighorn Mountains of Wyoming. Their live show features an array of sounds from introspective ballads to foot-stomping anthmes….sons that reflect their earthy authenticity and a genuine love for the craft.\n\n\n\n“Alt-Americana and country-rock storytelling that does equally as well at full volume on a road trip across the lonesome prairie\, or in a dark honky-tonk bar stop somewhere along the way. Great harmonies and some juicy cello playing. “Working Man’s Blues” is a standout track on a rare complete album that contradicts the modern practice of single releases and filler.” — Christopher Moyles\n  \nJoin us at the James Theater for The Two Tracks\, one night only!
