How’s that novel coming along? Ready to get some public feedback and also see what your fellow wannabe authors are up to? The next installment of Russ Marshalek’s “Just Working on My Novel” series takes place Friday night at WORD Brooklyn, hosted by Brooklyn-based actor and YA playwright Frank Anthony Polito, author of BAND FAGS! and DRAMA QUEERS! Polito will be reading from one published work and one work in progress, and anyone else is invited to read a five-to-ten-minute section of their own unpublished piece. An advance RSVP is strongly suggested to participate; you can always have a few glasses of cheap wine to loosen yourself up once you get there. As Marshalek says, “Lauren Conrad did it . . . twice. So YA can’t you?”
