A Tornado Grows in Brooklyn

Hello Everybody. Just to be entirely clear: YES, there was a tornado in Brooklyn yesterday. YES, it did touch down in Gowanus. NO, it did not suck me up into its vortex. I AM STILL HERE. Thanks for the emails, though, folks. It’s nice to know you would care if I pulled a Dorothy. Cheers, Hannah

Sirenland

Since 2007, along with my mentor, author Dani Shapiro, and her husband, the screenwriter Michael Maren, I’ve been organizing a writer’s conference called Sirenland.
