Main Street Rag Publishing
Co Reading & Open Mic Series (every 2nd  Thursday)
Featured Authors: Jason Mott & Maureen Sherbondy

Main Street Rag Publishing Company have joined together  as the newest location for the Main Street Rag
Reading Series.  Every Second Thursday at
7pm, co-hosts Debra Kaufman and Stan Absher will start the evening by introducing
two of our authors as featured readers, followed by an Open Mic.  Readers, writers and appreciators of poetry,
short fiction and creative non-fiction are invited to join in.

The Main Street Rag Publishing Company, a bindery and a
publisher based in Charlotte, has published a quarterly print magazine since
1996. Among its features are poetry, short fiction, photography and graphic
images, essays, interviews, reviews, cartoons and commentary.  MSR also publishes poetry through their
annual chapbook and full-length poetry collection contests.  They also help writers self-publish their
works; from design, layout and printing to shipping the books out.

Jason Mott received both his bachelor's and master's degrees in Creative
Writing from UNC Wilmington.  His fiction and poetry has been published in
journals such as The Thomas Wolfe Review, Chautauqua and Measure.  He was
also recently nominated for a Pushcart Prize for Poetry.  When he's not
writing poetry about the subject of love, he spends his time writing poetry
about the subject of superheroes.

Maureen Sherbondy received a BA degree from Rutgers
University. Her poems have appeared in numerous publications, including European Judaism, Calyx, Feminist Studies,
13th Moon, Cairn, Comstock Review, Crucible, The Roanoke Review and
the Raleigh News & Observer. Her poems have won first place in: The Deane
Ritch Lomax Poetry Prize, The Lyricist
Statewide Poetry Contest, and the Hart Crane Memorial Poetry Award from Kent
State University. Main Street Rag published her first book, After the Fairy Tale, in 2007. Praying at Coffee Shops was published in
2008. Her short story collection, The
Slow Vanishing, was released in 2009.
