Authors and Writers Open Mic

Welcome to our Author's Open Mic, a warm and inviting space where words come to life and stories find their voice. Held at the award-winning Afrori Books, the evening is perfectly set against a backdrop of incredible works by renowned authors, creating an inspiring atmosphere for all.

Whether you're a budding writer or an experienced wordsmith, this is your opportunity to share something from your catalogue or perhaps a piece you’re still crafting.

Join us for an evening where we transport our audience to other worlds, each tale unfolding with beauty and imagination. There’s a unique joy in hearing stories aloud, as the words resonate through the room, creating a shared experience that connects us all. It’s a night of shared stories, where the power of writing takes centre stage, and every voice is celebrated.

We are passionate about championing underrepresented voices, and this event is dedicated to performers from the global majority. If you’re an author or writer interested in reading or performing, please get in touch with us at [email protected].

Please note, this event is for adults only—no under 18s allowed.
