Writers of Central Florida or Thereabouts

This is Orlando's premier literary open mic, where writers, poets, musicians, and comics can take the stage and share their material with a group of supportive, positive people.

You can read an excerpt of a novel, an essay, part of a memoir, a poem (or two), a radio play, or a piece of standup you've been working on. If you're stage-shy, you can even get someone else to read your work for you.

• Admission is free. There is no cover charge or fee of any kind.
• Newbies or seasoned veterans are welcome. There's no experience or skill level required.
• Please keep your reading/presentation to 6- 8 minutes (or about 1,000 words). After that, we throw things. (No, really.)
• A sign-up sheet is available starting at 7:00 PMish. Mingle for a few minutes, and grab some beverages if you like. You can even get dinner or a snack.
• If you don't want to read, you don't have to — you can chill and listen and support your fellow writers.

This is a writing workshop that meets on the 4th Wednesday of every month at the Winter Park Library. We focus on learning a new technique or method each month. A guest speaker will share a sample of their work and then give a writing prompt for everyone to follow.

We'll all write for 30 minutes, and then share our work with others, and receive helpful suggestions about what to improve. Bring your laptops, tablets, a notebook and pen, and a willingness to learn.
