Now entering its 14th year, the New Short Fiction Series has left the Beverly Hills Public Library, finding a new home at Barndall Art Park in Hollywood for 2010. The series features L.A. area and West Coast writers, many of them accomplished screen writers. January's event features "Painted Bicycles" and other stories by Andrea Lisa Leeb, who will share the stage with Jennifer Ann Evans (Criminal Minds), Jesse Holcomb (Dead Shot and Eddie) and Buckley Sampson (According to Jim). Shows cost $10 ($15/ door) or $80 for a season pass (11 shows in all)

You come to LAist because you want independent reporting and trustworthy local information. Our newsroom doesn’t answer to shareholders looking to turn a profit. Instead, we answer to you and our connected community. We are free to tell the full truth, to hold power to account without fear or favor, and to follow facts wherever they lead. Our only loyalty is to our audiences and our mission: to inform, engage, and strengthen our community.

Right now, LAist has lost $1.7M in annual funding due to Congress clawing back money already approved. The support we receive from readers like you will determine how fully our newsroom can continue informing, serving, and strengthening Southern California.
