Hosted by Ed McCann

Ed McCann, an award-winning writer and producer, is the founder of Writers Read, which creates performance opportunities for writers and celebrates the spoken word five minutes at a time. For a decade, Ed and a team of dedicated volunteers have worked to present hundreds of stories at dozens of carefully curated, high-quality events in association with partners like Vassar College, the National Arts Club and The New York Public Library for the Performing Arts at Lincoln Center. Today, Writers Read engages audiences with regular live shows here at City Winery’s flagship location in New York, and with the regular half hour podcast he launched in association with Carnegie Hall. Ed’s own writing has appeared in many journals and magazines, including Country Living, Better Homes & Gardens, Good Housekeeping, The Irish Echo, and The Sun, and he’s a regular contributor to Milieu, a magazine about design.
