I’m a convener, and a dreamer; a curator and (occasional) orator; and an all-around literary enthusiast. I’ve worked with partner organizations and venues from Lincoln Center to the Strand Book Store.
I once hosted a poetry reading and self-defense workshop for Asian women at a decades-old boxing gym in Brooklyn, I brought kathak dancers to the historic Great Hall at Cooper Union, and I ran Lit Crawl NYC for many years for thousands of readers and writers.
I’ve worked with authors large and small, established and emerging, and would love to work with you.
Get in touch at lilyphilpott[at]gmail[.]com! I’d love to talk to you about what you’re working on, and how I can help it shine. ✨
