An open-mic event where writers of all kinds have the opportunity to engage in one of the most important practices of the writing life — reading their work in front of others. It’s a great opportunity to read your own work in front of a receptive audience. Anyone can participate, but you have to sign up. These events fill up quickly!

Monday, March 27, 2017  6:30–8:30 PM
First Presbyterian Church, Allison Room, Corvallis, Oregon
(use 9th St. Parking Lot Entrance)

Guidelines for the Reading:

• Sign up table begins at 6:15 PM.
