MBPR September Networking Meetup

September 16 @ 4:00 pm – 7:00 pm

Lake Monster Brewing 550 Vandalia Street #160, Saint Paul

We’ve missed you! MBPR events will be online through the end of 2021, but we’d love to see you live and in-person for an informal networking event/social time this fall. Please join us on Thursday, September 16, from 4:00 to 7:00 p.m., at Lake Monster Brewing. Weather permitting, we will gather on the patio (or go inside if it’s rainy or cold).

To help us reserve an appropriate amount of space, please RSVP here.

We ask that unvaccinated attendees wear masks when not actively eating or drinking, and we encourage vaccinated attendees who prefer to mask up to do so. If you are experiencing symptoms of illness, or if you have been exposed to someone known or suspected to have COVID-19, please protect those around you by staying home.

Nonalcoholic options are available. Light appetizers will be provided. See the Lake Monster website for the drink list and food truck schedule.

MBPR & PEN Publisher/Freelancer Social Hour

October 14 @ 4:00 pm – 7:00 pm

Location TBD

The Minnesota Book Publishers Roundtable and the Professional Editors Network are joining forces for an in-person happy hour! Whether you’re working in-house or freelance, or are just interested in the publishing industry, join us to socialize and network. We welcome editors, proofreaders, publishers, writers, agents, indexers, marketers, designers, illustrators, production managers, and anyone else in the publishing orbit. You do not need to be a member of PEN or MBPR to attend.

Due to the ongoing pandemic, we will meet outside, weather permitting. We ask that unvaccinated attendees wear masks when not actively eating or drinking, and we encourage vaccinated attendees who prefer to mask up to do so. If you are experiencing symptoms of illness, or if you have been exposed to someone known or suspected to have COVID-19, please protect those around you by staying home.

Nonalcoholic options are available. Light appetizers will be provided.
