Sob Sisters, a Journalists Bar Night
Sob Sisters is the women's nonfiction club founded in 2018 by the authors Abbott Kahler (Eden Undone), Susannah Cahalan (The Acid Queen), and Ada Calhoun (Also a Poet). The group meets at the 11th Street Bar's back room four times a year for a few short readings or presentations (a seasoned author with a hot new book out, a young writer with a proposal she wants advice on, an editor with a call for submissions, a publicist willing to share trade secrets, a fact-checker describing best practices...), then informal conversation. These fun, strictly off-the-record meet-ups are held on Monday evenings with cheap drinks available and no cover charge or minimum. The list is about 300 women reporters strong, with about 50 showing up to each meeting, and is entirely word of mouth. We welcome authors with many books to their credit and young reporters just getting started. To get on the list, please email one of the three of us.
