Words on Tap is a community-forward book launch celebrating CM’s new poetry + prose collection, Etched in Waiting: The Art of Holding On. The event centers on live readings (CM + guest readers) and the themes of grief, trying to conceive, pregnancy, postpartum, and the life shift of becoming a parent—written as a love letter to their son. It’s designed to feel warm and social: readings, drinks, and connection, with time afterward for mingling and book signing.
Sponsorship puts your brand in front of a highly targeted NYC audience (primarily ages 30–40) that aligns with wellness, lifestyle, and “good vibes” products. You’re not just buying impressions—you’re placing your brand directly into guests’ hands and conversations.
Sponsor benefits include:
I’m CM (they/them), a Queens-based poet and prose writer. My new book, Etched in Waiting: The Art of Holding On, blends poetry and prose into a love letter shaped by waiting—through loss, the courage to try again, and the life that finally stayed—written for my son.
My debut chapbook, Whispers on the Wind, ranked #1 in Latin American/Caribbean Literature in 2021, and my work has appeared with Headline Poetry and Press, Before I Leave, Fourteen Poems, and Brown Sugar Lit.
Outside of writing, I work in marketing and events and have 10+ years of experience producing 500+ events, so I bring a thoughtful, well-run approach to everything I host. I also run La Luna Lights, a small business where my handmade offerings shift with my curiosities and reflect who I am in the moment.
