Vica Miller started her literary salons shortly after completing one of many fiction writing workshops — in Tuscany. Upon returning from Italy she was asked to read from her then novel in progress at a SoHo gallery, which prompted her to launch salons of her own. The first one took place in April of 2009 in her Manhattan apartment and has since evolved into a respected literary event hosted by major New York City galleries, including Susan Eley Fine Art, Mimi Ferzt, RYAN LEE, Carini Lang, and Fridman among others, featuring a diverse roster of writers, both published and not.
The salons provide a platform for fresh voices in literature, who are serious about the craft of writing. We don't address the hardships of getting published, nor aim to impress big name critics and sell books for published authors. We present new work from a mix of established and emerging writers, with the ultimate goal of supporting the literary arts and creating a loyal community of followers. Each salon features four writers and is set in a private gallery or art space. Wine is served. The evenings are vibrant and memorable.
Vica Miller grew up in St. Petersburg (then Leningrad), Russia, and has been a New Yorker for over two decades. She is the author of the novel Inga's Zigzags (5/2014).
