Writers submit to us on-line or are recommended to us by other writers (or literary folks), and if we like their work, they read at the Salon.

What well known writers have read at the Salon?

Some well-known writers who’ve read at Sunday Salon are Alison Smith (Name All the Animals), Jonathan Dee (The Lover of History), David Gates (Jernigan), and David Treuer (The Translation of Dr. Appelles).
     One of the latest developments of Sunday Salon (now in it’s fifth year!) is our newest “sister series” in Nairobi, Kenya, which started after I connected with some literary enthusiasts during my participation in the Summer Literary Seminars in Nairobi in December 2006. There’s also a Sunday Salon in Chicago and you can check to see who’s reading on our new and nifty website SundaySalon.com. We’ve started a webzine, so keep an eye out for some excellent writing.

The evening readings go like this. Four writers read their prose for about 15 minutes each with a short intermission between the first two readers. Occasionally, we’ll have a musician open up and/or play during the intermission. Stain has a casual, cool atmosphere that displays artists’ original work on the walls and that changes monthly, and Krista Madsen, the bar owner and fellow writer, serves all New York wines and beers.
