About this Event

Join us as we close out the 2026 Detroit Lit Summer Writers' Institute with an open mic celebrating everything you've created, shared, and learned over the weekend.

After two days of workshops, craft, and connection, this will be your moment to share what you've been working on. Come read a poem, an excerpt, a piece you started in one of our sessions — or simply show up to support your fellow writers.

🎤 Open mic sign-up: 15 spots available (first come, first served)
🥤 Light refreshments provided
📚 Learn more about Detroit Lit's mission, programs, and how to stay involved beyond the Institute
