Newtown Literary, the literary journal of Queens, celebrates the 4th annual Queens Writes Weekend on May 13–15, 2016. Beginning with an opening reading at the Queens Museum on Friday at 7 p.m. and concluding with a closing reading at Terraza 7 in Elmhurst on Sunday at 7 p.m., Queens Writes Weekend is a chance for writers and those who love writing to come together and write—it’s as simple as that. Throughout the weekend, local writers will take to their communities and invite residents to come write with them. You bring the pen and paper, we provide the inspiration!
