Willamette Writers Hillsboro Presents Open Mic Night!

Does the audience sigh? Do they gasp? Do they laugh outright? Does the page read smoothly for you? In other words, does your writing bring the audience into your experience successfully? Read for applause and explore the effectiveness of your creation. Or join us to listen and enjoy. The meeting is open to the public.

All genres are welcome but readings should be suitable for mixed audiences. Sign-ups to read begin at 6:30 and will be first come, first served. Each person has 5 minutes (700 – 800 words for prose) which includes any set-up or side conversations with the audience. The number of readers will be limited to fit the time.

Join us on January 10th, 2023. Doors open at 6 pm. The meeting is 6:30-7:30 pm. This is a hybrid meeting. We meet at the Hillsboro Brookwood Library (2850 NE Brookwood Pkwy, Hillsboro, OR 97124) and online.
