This open mic will be a mixture of every genre, style, form, perspective and content — from fiction to memoir to poetry, unpolished to polished, unpublished to published. Writers of all steps along the writing path are welcome! Please don’t be shy — we have the most wonderful, supportive audiences!
There will be 10 to 12 readers, each reading for five minutes, plus two featured readers each reading for fifteen minutes. Names will be drawn out of a hat. Your name must be dropped into the hat by 2:50pm.
