Write That Down! Show & Tell

WTD!’s Show & Tell series is possible through our partnership with Chicago’s Guild Literary Complex.

Come by and SHOW a keepsake that’s dear to you, a favorite bit of junk, or a cute knick knack. TELL a story about your artifact and its meaning, a new poem, or some speculative fiction you’ve been working on.

The evening will begin with an open mic and archiving session, followed by a presentation from a past (and/or future) contributor. Attendees are encouraged to bring ephemera and memorabilia that they would like scanned/archived for inclusion in the magazine’s upcoming issue.

Write That Down! is an archival project and magazine capturing the particulars of our current moment, both here in Chicago and in the world at large. The goal is to gather everyday artifacts that tell stories about what is important to us and our communities. There is no memento too big or local story too small for these pages. If it matters to you, write it down!

Know what’s Happening Next — before everyone else does.
