We're mixing it up at Sounds About Write and giving more space to you in our open mic events this spring.

Bring something you're working on, whether it's brand new or you've been honing it for a while, to share with a supportive audience.

We're also be celebrating our regular attendee, Roger Waldron AKA the throwaway poet, as he's launching a new poetry collection.

If you'd like some feedback and/or time to practice, join our Page to Stage session upstairs in The Writers Workshop from 5pm-6pm.
