This special "Reading Night" event gives each participant 10 minutes to read their work and receive constructive feedback from the group using index cards.
What better way to connect with other writers, receive feedback on stories, and share a few ideas of your own than to join group of fellow writers in a relaxed non-judgmental atmosphere?
Each reader receives 10 minutes to read their work. Listeners will provide constructive feedback on index cards so that you can refer to them at a later time. If you cannot attend in person, you can also listen to the session via Zoom.
