Subbed In is turning 3! Come celebrate this aging and terrible toddler with a bumper reading event at Freda's. Subbed In has evolved a fair bit since that first fateful event in a sharehouse kitchen in 2015 and to sing in our 4th year of existence, we’re offering the literary prowess of:

Marcus Whale
Winnie Dunn
Susie Anderson
Merrila Babu John
Ellen O’Brien
Jonno Revanche
Annie Zhang
Michael Mohammed Ahmad
Patrick Lenton
Wendy Chen
Shirley Le
Deahne Lisa

And closing out the evening will be a special performance by band and queer pop dreamboats, SPORTSBRA. Cool fact: Subbed In chapbook author, Allison Gallagher plays and writes songs in Sports Bra. Be sure to checkout their tunes on Sports Bra’s bandcamp, spotify, etc.
