On Tuesday night at Mama’s Crowbar, Scratchpad entered a new phase. In the absence of the series founder, Mary, readers were selected by guest curator Amanda, who bravely stepped up to the mic to host the inaugural HillyTown Presents edition of the series. She – and the four readers – did a great job. Read on for photos by Bryan Bruchman!
Amanda introduces a reader.
Deirdre Fulton–as Elizabeth Miles–kicks things off with some young adult fiction.
Sean Moore takes us inside the office–and psyche–of his story’s protagonist.
Andrew Lapham Fersch brings tales of youthful experimentation and laughs.
Sean Wilkinson leaves the room thinking about tooth sweaters and mystery gels.
The date of Scratchpad #8 is still TBD, but you can always submit now if you’d like to read!
