Hosted by Ducts<\/em> editor in chief, Mary Cool, this evening will feature YA fiction works-in-progress from authors Beth Ann Bauman, Regan Fad, Emilie Cohen, and Mary Cool. Here are your readers:<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/div>\n
\n Beth Ann Bauman<\/strong> is the author of a short story collection Beautiful Girls<\/em>, and the young-adult novels Rosie and Skate<\/em>, which was selected for the New York Times Editors\u2019 Choice list and Booklist\u2019s Top Ten First Novels for Youth, and Jersey Angel<\/em>, selected by Publishers Weekly, Boston Globe, and The Horn Book as a best summer book. Beth has received fellowships from the Jerome Foundation and the New York Foundation for the Arts. She teaches at the Writer’s Voice of the West Side Y and is on the faculty at Spalding University’s brief-residency MFA program in creative writing.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Emilie Cohen<\/strong> is a born-and-raised New Yorker, and a born-and-raised Yankee fan. She reads and writes Young Adult fiction, mostly because she has the mental age of a sixteen-year-old. This is her first time reading her work in public, and she is humbled and terrified.<\/p>\n
Regan Fad<\/strong> wrote stories all the time when she was a child. Somewhere along the way she stopped for reasons she can’t quite remember and a few years back she started writing again for reasons she can’t quite articulate. She practices law to make a living and shares her home on the upper west side with a disdainful cat.<\/p>\n
Mary Cool<\/strong> has been editor in chief of Ducts<\/em> literary magazine and host of the Trumpet Fiction reading series since 2015. Here are three facts about her that may or may not be true: she lives in Sunset Park, Brooklyn, has one-and-a-half children, and detests most forms of ice cream (gelato is acceptable).<\/span><\/div>\n
