Giuseppe Taurino may be the new guy at Inprint, one of Texas’ most prestigious literary organizations, but he’s hardly a novice when it comes to Houston or the contemporary writing world. Taurino took over the Inprint directorship after a tenure at Writers in the Schools and was associate director of the creative writing program at University of Houston.

The clues lay in the lineup. Sitting down for a talk with Rich Levy and Krupa Parikh, executive and deputy directors of Inprint, about their 2025-2026 Margarett Root Brown Reading Series

Winners of National Book Awards, Pulitzer Prizes, Booker Prizes, MacArthur Fellows and even Oscar nominees are among the writers we expect every year when Houston’s foremost literary arts organization, Inprint, announces the lineup for their Margarett Root Brown Reading Series.

With the series back to live, in-person readings for over a year now, Inprint executive director, Rich Levy, says the literary-loving audiences have also come back to see and hear from their favorite writers.

For the performing arts lover, one of the annual small joys in life can come from a favorite dance, theater or music organization revealing their next season.
