Open Mic Mondays for WOK Members

September 2, 2020 By Natalia Corres

Tired of reading your writing aloud to your tabby, your parakeet, or your goldfish? Writers of Kern has a solution for that! WOK Members, bring your poems, fiction, essay, short story, or creative nonfiction (including memoir) to Open Mic Mondays over Zoom!

When: 7:00-8:15 pm, Monday, October 5, November 2, and December 7, 2020.

How it works:

  1. Open Mic Mondays, for readers and the audience, is a Members-Only event.
  2. All attendees must register beforehand on a private Eventbrite listing, to receive the link.
  3. Participants/readers may read 3 poems or for 5 minutes for any genre. Time limits will be strictly observed.
  4. Those who wish to read will sign up once admitted to the meeting. Those who wish to listen will sit back and enjoy.

An Open Mic is a fun event, where writers can showcase their work. There’s no pressure to read, but those who do become encouraged, build confidence, and hone their presentation skills—good practice for those future book tours and readings! 

Take this opportunity to support and connect with fellow WOK members while performing your work before a live audience on Zoom.

Watch your email for more information and details about how you can experience Open Mic Mondays!

    Hooray! I want to attend! My cats are looking forward to me reading my poems to somebody besides them! How do I get the link?

    Thank you for organizing this, Annis and Natalia! Such a great idea!

    Blessings,

    Carla Joy
