Join us for a celebration of creative play on the page! As a finale to this summer's FREE Play on the Page classes, we are inviting class participants to share work at this virtual creative writing open mic!
Participants in our Free Your Writing Flow and Start with Sparks classes are invited to read up to 400 words of work started in or inspired by Play on the Page. To read at the Open Mic!, please fill out our READER SIGN-UP SHEET by 4 p.m. CT on September 27.
One and all, please come out to hear what can happen when you tap into your writing flow and bring play to your creative writing practice. We’ll also use the event to review practices that keep YOU playing on the page.
