The Literary Debutante Ball is a benefit that celebrates One Story, honors our Literary Debutantes, and raises a glass to our 2020 Distinguished Alum, Celeste Ng. The ball will feature specialty cocktails and appetizers, live music, and dancing.
The highlight of the ball will be the formal “presentation” of our Literary Debutantes: One Story authors who have published their debut books in the past year.
2020 Debutantes:
Chuck Augello, The Inexplicable Grey Space We Call Love (Duck Lake Books), author of “Cool City”
Ayşe Papatya Bucak, The Trojan War Museum (W.W. Norton), author of “Good Fortune”
Christina Hammonds Reed, The Black Kids (Simon & Schuster Books for Young Readers), author of “The Black Kids”
Note: Tickets required. All proceeds benefit One Story Inc., an award-winning, 501(c)(3) not-for-profit committed to supporting the art form of the short story and the authors who write them—through publication, education, community, and mentorship. No one under 21 years old will be admitted.
