In addition to promoting the Midwest through the journal and MG Press, one of our main goals is to support local writers. To do that, we have a slew of  summer reading events coming up in various locations featuring current and past contributors.

Last year’s events were great successes, and we’re so excited to present the following events in 2014.  As always, some details may change, and additional events may be added to this list, so stay tuned. In addition, do check out the public Facebook events for each (listed below), as they contain additional information about the venues, author bios, and more.

So if you can make any of these, stop by, say hello, and support local writers!
