House of SpeakEasy

House of SpeakEasy is a home for close encounters of a literary kind: a place where authors and their audiences come together in innovative and sustaining ways. I began working at SpeakEasy by chance (like many other opportunities in my life) and I immediately dove into the work of SpeakTogether, which is the nonprofit’s school partnerships arm. I worked on materials for our “student matinees,” where a set of writers would be invited into a high school to tell stories and share their experiences as writers with the students. In 2023, I created learning guides for students and instructors for a partnership with the New York Public Library.
