We know that you're probably not supporting independent arts media for the personal perks. You're doing it because you value journalism and our city's cultural life. But we do love to offer special benefits and access to our Friends, so as usual, we're inviting you to attend our latest event for free.
We're looking forward to BSR Book Week, just a few weeks away now! We're bringing you a wide range of book reviews with a Philly connection, sharing the books our staff is reading, and holding a virtual panel event with five notable Philly authors on Wednesday, June 4 at 6:30pm ET. We'll talk about how living and working in Philly shapes their craft and their careers.
Join us on Zoom alongside authors Elise Juska (Reunion, paperback out now), John Morrison (Boyz II Men 40th Anniversary Celebration, out May 20), Tre Johnson (Black Genius: Essays on an American Legacy, out July 29), Annie Liontas (Sex with a Brain Injury: On Concussion and Recovery), and Eric Smith (With or Without You). Our own Kyle V. Hiller will moderate. This conversation will be recorded, so everyone who registers can view it live or later, though we recommend joining live so you can participate in the Q&A! Plus it's great when the community shows up to support authors.
RSVP here and use the promo code BSRFriends for a free ticket. Hit the red "Get Tickets" button on the event page, then enter BSRFriends in the Promo Code bar at top, and hit "apply". Then, just below, choose a "Support BSR with a full-price $20 ticket", which drops to zero with the promo code. And then check out. You're all set. You will receive a link to the event by email and will simply click it to join the session.
Please don't share the promo code. It's exclusively for our Friends!
We are excited for this one, and we hope you can join us! Thanks for everything you do to support us. BSR is now the backbone of Philly's independent arts media, and we would not be publishing without you. If you have friends looking for a good pro-democracy cause to support, you can't do much better than independent media committed to preserving the diverse cultural life, including authors and books, that our federal government is trying to stamp out.
See you June 4! Tell your book-loving friends.
