Freerange Nonfiction Reading Series

Freerange Nonfiction is a successful monthly nonfiction reading series located in the heart of New York City that brings together up-and-coming and established writers on one small stage to share their work with the rest of the world. We practice the method of literary husbandry where the authors are permitted to write, read, and roam freely instead of being constrained by traditional categories or labels. The principle is to allow the writers as much freedom as possible, to live out their instinctual behaviors in a reasonably natural way, regardless of whether or not they are eventually killed for meat. In addition to spreading the love of storytelling, the greater mission of Freerange is to give lesser known writers a chance to share their work in the presence of established and influential authors, literary agents, book lovers and story fiends, as well as a fun and supportive crowd. And each Freerange installment always seems to leave these readers, as well as the audience, feeling refreshed and inspired.

We also offer "Freerange FineTuning", a specialized writing and editing service for the needs of writers, scholars and storytellers. Freerange FineTuning offers industry standard rates for proofreading and editing, but unlike other editing services, we tailor our services to your individual writing needs. Once you get in touch with us, we will ask for a sample page of your writing, and establish a deadline and rate. For writers interested in a project rate, we will not only correct your errors, but can work with you over time to develop as a writer.
