About this Event
Join The Writers Workshop for its monthly live literature event downstairs at Sheffield Plate. Each month we invite a published author to share their work and insight into their writing journey, and then we open the floor to emerging writers in our open-mic segment. Your work doesn't have to be polished ... it just needs to sound about right!
The event begins at 6:45PM, but join members of the Workshop upstairs from 6:15PM for some mixing before the event.
To reserve an open-mic slot, email [email protected] before 6:00PM on the day.
