Local Author Showcase

Join us for a celebration of Colorado authors and their words as we feature a monthly lineup of emerging and seasoned local talents.
About this Event

Each month at the Shop at MATTER, we're hosting a lineup of six amazing local authors to read their poetry and prose, meet new (and existing) fans, and sign their books & zines.

This month, we're featuring all things whimsical: from folklore, to fairytales, to the amazing world of bugs, we've got a lil something fun and lighthearted for everyone! Join us as we celebrate the range of amazing literary talents Colorado has to offer. Who knows, maybe you'll discover your new favorite writer!

August's Featured Authors to be announced soon!

We'll start at 2:00, with the first three authors presenting one at a time onstage. Then, those three will join on stage to field questions, and the audience will have the opportunity to buy their book/zine, and the authors will sign together. After a brief intermission, the final three authors will have their moment and follow the same process.

Can't make it this month? Never fear! Showcases will be held monthly on the 3rd Sunday of each month.
