Word Open Mic

Share your words in sweet community at our monthly open mic emceed by spoken word poet Jorah LaFleur.

No matter your genre or form – poetry, fiction, storytelling, spoken word, or prose – you’re invited to share your work in our monthly open mic. Hear what your fellow wordsmiths have been working on and support your literary community with an evening of word goodness.

Together, we’ll create community and experience inspiration, sharing, and listening.

You’ll get to hear the latest creations from your fellow writers and word lovers, share your own (if you’d like), and get to know other writers.

“I had a blast. For me, it was magical. The talent in the room was outstanding–better than any other open mic I’ve been to. Jorah was delightful and still kept everything moving.”
– Kaye Dean Lenox

Warning: you’re likely to leave feeling inspired, invigorated to get back to your creative practice, and emotionally moved by the experience.
