What we're about

This event will hopefully become a series. But after teaching and interacting in the Indianapolis creative writing community I've seen a lot of very talented individuals who aren't yet published--or who've never done a professional reading. I'd like to help change that.
If you're a local writer with a desire to perform and publish, this event is for you. We'll discuss everything from how to find the right literary journals for you, to how get comfortable with a microphone, and how to take up space on stage.

I'll be using my eight years experience in the professional writing world to answer your questions and be a resource.

For this first event: we'll discuss both how to know when work is ready to submit, and I'll give a quick and dirty guide to the world of publishing online.

**If you're feeling brave, please bring one piece you consider finished or near complete to this event, along with your computer. By the end of this workshop, you'll have submitted your first work!

Caliban Zine Jam

Irvington Vinyl & Books

Join us for a twice monthly zine jam. We'll provide tons of collage supplies, markers, paper, scissors, etc. Feel free to bring your own art supplies to share. Use this time to make new work, continue existing work, scan your originals, learn tips on formatting, try out new ideas in a safe space, workshop with your peers, and on and on. Use this time.

We'll also have games, speakers, and other zine related accoutrement throughout the series.
