We’re celebrating our 15th birthday, which makes us about as old as Poe would have been in literary magazine years. In honor of this glorious milestone, we’re throwing a party!
Join our esteemed hosts, Emma Copley Eisenberg, Vanessa Chan, Deesha Philyaw, and Clare Sestanovich, as well as EL editors and authors, for an evening of drinks and dancing in support of Electric Literature at our masquerade on October 18, 2024 in Brooklyn, New York. We’ll have a photo booth, free books, free masks, an open bar, and, of course, cake!
The Masquerade of the Red NEON Death
Littlefield, Brooklyn, New York
Friday, October 18, 2024
VIP Cocktail Hour 7 – 8pm
Dance Party, featuring DJ Sean Davis, 8 – 11pm
This year, we’re going electric and the dress code is black and/or neon. Think bright colors, day glow, and pop art. Feeling introverted? Show up in black jeans and a black t-shirt and you’ll fit right in. Feeling extroverted and wondering how hard you can go? There is no limit. Need proof? Check out last year’s photos by Jasmina Tomic, and revel in the photo booth antics. EL members receive a 10% discount. (Check your email for the discount code.)
Masks and neon accessories will be provided, or you can bring your own. Come ready to dance because the tunes by DJ Sean Davis will light you up!
Can’t make it to Brooklyn for the event? You can still support our mission to make literature more exciting, relevant, and inclusive with a charitable donation. Everything Electric Literature publishes is free to read. We publish over 500 writers per year, and we pay them all. Each gift of $75 sponsors one of our writers to attend the Masquerade for free, so we can celebrate them as guests of honor.
Patrons that give $150 or more will be acknowledged at the Masquerade. Please write “Masquerade” in the notes field, as well as the name you wish to be acknowledged under.
