This is Orlando's premier literary open mic, where writers, poets, musicians, and comics can take the stage and share their material with a group of supportive, positive people.

You can read an excerpt of a novel, an essay, part of a memoir, a poem (or two), a radio play, or a piece of standup you've been working on. If you're stage-shy, you can even get someone else to read your work for you.

Admission is free. There is no cover charge or fee of any kind.
Newbies or seasoned veterans are welcome. There's no experience or skill level required.
Please keep your reading/presentation to 6- 8 minutes (or about 1,000 words). After that, we throw things. (No, really.)
A sign-up sheet is available starting at 7:00 PMish. Mingle for a few minutes, and grab some beverages if you like. You can even get dinner or a snack.
* If you don't want to read, you don't have to โ€” you can chill and listen and support your fellow writers.
