Join us Monday April 7th at 7pm as we celebrate the publication of our first two Quiet Lightning Books at the gorgeous headquarters of Hipstamatic.
We asked our authors Zack Haber (if you want to be one of them playing in the streets…) and Tupelo Hassman (Breast Milk) to curate the rest of the evening and they’ve invited Amy Berkowitz, Carrie Hunter, Stephen D. Gutierrez, and Dan Sanders to read… and they all said yes!
We made the books with Tiny Splendor, who will be set up with a print sale. There will be cheap food and free ice cold draft beer courtesy of Lagunitas… which perhaps will inspire you to participate in the livestream of image-based storytelling via Oggl. Wait! There’s more… a special performance by Stella Peach!

This all happened as a result of our first book contest. Are you working on a book right now? We’ll be announcing our second book contest in the beginning of May.

Major thanks to the The Leslie Scalapino – O Books Fund for a recent grant that will help make this all possible!
Quiet Lightning is also made possible in part thanks to the Zellerbach Family Foundation, and would absolutely not be so darn great without the help and consistent good work of our board, staff, and volunteers. Our ears and minds are are always open, and so are our meetings — the next one is on April 20th (no joke). Send us a line if you’d like to attend and/or get involved in some way.
