Have you always wanted to participate in an open mic but maybe you’ve been intimidated by reading in front of a large crowd? Maybe microphones send shivers down your spine? We have created the perfect opportunity to build your confidence and let you test the public reading waters in a safe and supportive space. Readers will be seated around a table, and you’ll have the opportunity to read 1-5 minutes of your own work, standing up or sitting down—it’s up to you! This event is perfect for first-time readers, but all are welcome. With festival author
Ren Cedar Fuller as the host, this event will be welcoming to authors looking for an encouraging and intimate setting to share their original poetry or prose. Capacity will be low, so make sure to arrive early to take advantage of this unique low-stakes open mic!
This event is free and open to the public, but capacity is limited (20) and attendees should arrive early to guarantee a seat.
Thank you to the
Spokane Public Library for their partnership on this event!
