Welcome to the first post of the Parlor Blog! We like firsts. We’re all about them. So let’s get started… The first three people to people to post the first sentence of whatever they’re working on right now (whether it be a novel, a story, or a poem) gets a free copy of The Parlor’s literary magazine Quick Fiction. Let the games begin!

But before you get your copy/paste on, I also want to bring your attention to a few other things.

  • The Parlor made the first page of The Salem Gazette last week. Many thanks to our new friend Kristin D’Agostino for writing such a great story!
  • As you’ll see in the article, we’ve launched a survey to help us shape our programming on the North Shore. I hope you’ll take a moment to tell us what you think.
  • If you can commit to doing three simple things to help The Parlor this year you’re eligible to join our Advisory Board. Contact us for more information.
