Writers’ Open Mic is a monthly open mic event featuring all literary genres. Come share your work in a low-key, supportive atmosphere!
About this Event

Dying to share the first few lines of your slice-of-life novel set in the South End or your epic blank verse poem about T delays? Curious what other local creatives are working on?


Writers’ Open Mic is the home for works in progress from all literary genres. Prose, poetry, flash fiction, pages from your graphic novel, a haiku about Market Basket; whatever you’re working on, come and dazzle a live audience in a low-key, supportive atmosphere.


Connect with a literary community, have a drink or two, hear inspiring features from established and emerging writers, and be the first to know what’s new and next in Boston’s lit scene.


Doors open at 6:30 to sign up for one of the coveted slots to read. Readings start at 7pm, with features at 8pm.


Writers’ Open Mic is free to attend, 18+, and registration is requested. Alcohol will be for sale for 21+ attendees. WOM is brought to you by GrubStreet, Porter Square Books, and Mass Poetry.
