Alano Club Community Reading Series

In partnership with Tin House, The Alano Club Community Reading Series is a monthly open-mic for writers of fiction, nonfiction, poetry, and hybrid genres, generously hosted by Portland’s premier queer-owned and operated bookstore, Bishop & Wilde. This structured yet unscripted gathering is an occasion to share works in-progress and experience the rich overlap of Portland’s literary and recovery communities. While readers are not required to self-identify as being in recovery, we will maintain a sober-friendly environment for all sessions. We encourage readers of all experience levels to sign up for a guaranteed reading slot of 10 minutes or less, though two slots per session are reserved for first-time readers!
