LitNight Reading Series featuring Fowzia Karimi

PEN America invites you to celebrate LitNight’s second anniversary with a virtual reading featuring established and emerging writers, on Tuesday, June 9, at 7pm Central time.
Founder and host of LitNight Sanderia Faye says, “This anniversary shows the dedication that Dallas and Fort Worth have toward creating a literary city. The authors and audience are the reason we have thrived, and the four powerhouse authors featured for our anniversary celebration are a testament to our survival.”
LitNight is a monthly reading series featuring some of the most exciting established and emerging writers to come out of Dallas, and the literary community at large. This month’s virtual reading will feature Deb Olin Unferth, Renee Simms, Fowzia Karimi, and Natalie Baszile.
