Borders & Boundaries stories are now online!

All the stories and recordings from our Borders & Boundaries night are now online! So if you missed hearing them live at KGB, all you have to do is pour yourself a drink, lower the lights, head over to our Borders & Boundaries page, and enjoy.

Once again, thanks to writers Erin Smith, Karen Levy, Maisy Card, and Joseph Salvatore; as well as performers Michaela Morton, Michael Petrocelli, Amber Bogdewiecz, and Frances Uku. And particular thanks to BOA Editions for kindly allowing us to feature Joseph’s story on the website – if you like his story (and we know you will) make sure you check out his collection, To Assume a Pleasing Shape – available now on Amazon!

We’ll be back at KGB on Wednesday, 3rd August with an evening of flash fiction – if you’d like to submit a story for that, we’re accepting entries until Thursday, 30th June – full details on the submissions page of our website!

All that, as well as books to give away as part of our so-bad-it's-still-bad nerdy literary quiz! So that's 7pm on Wednesday, 6th April at KGB Bar in the East Village - and you can reply to our Facebook Invite right here. entry to the show is free, but make sure you get there early if you want a seat...

Welcome to Portland!

A couple of announcements from us for the weekend! Firstly, we're incredibly excited to announce a new member of the Liars' League fold - our new, extremely hip West Coast sister, Liars' League PORTLAND!

So massive congratulations to the Portland team, Pamela Fleischmann, Veronica Proctor, Jennifer Springsteen, and Alida Thacher! You can find out more about Liars' League PDX on their website a thttp://www.liarsleaguepdx.com, via their twitter feed at https://twitter.com/liarsleaguepdx and on their highly likable facebook page at https://www.facebook.com/LiarsLeaguePDX. They'll be doing exactly what we do over here, only with perhaps better coffee. Their first submissions deadline is next month - the theme is Liars & Saints, and the deadline is Monday, 29th February. Any more questions, drop them a line at info@liarsleaguepdx.com!

That's obviously awesome news! Slightly less awesomely, here at Liars' League NYC, due to slightly unforseen circumstances we have to cancel our forthcoming event on 4th February. But don't fret - we'll be featuring this month's Run & Hide stories in future - either as a separate event once we've sorted a date out, or alongside future themes. Sorry to everyone who was hoping to come along to see us in February - but we'll be back in force at KGB on Wednesday, 6th April for our appropriately titled Mistakes & Missteps event! And if you'd like to submit a story for Mistakes & Missteps, the deadline is Monday, 29th February.
