After the doors close at the Leipzig Book Fair, the real conversation begins.

​Join us for an intimate evening of readings and community as Anodyne Magazine hosts a special side event celebrating previously published work and the voices behind it. You’ll hear powerful excerpts read aloud, meet fellow mission-driven creatives, and gather around a shared commitment to health equity.

​This isn’t just another literary event — it’s a space to slow down after the buzz of the fair, connect more deeply, and be in a room with people who care about bodies, stories, and justice in equal measure. Whether you’ve been following Anodyne for years or are just discovering us, you’ll leave feeling grounded, seen, and part of something larger.

​If you’re in Leipzig for the fair, you won’t want to miss this. Join us at the cozy Orinoco Bookstore for the vibes. Come for the readings. Stay for the community. Drinks and books will be available to purchase via Orinoco’s selection.
