Details

Feedback is an open mic with a twist. Here's how it works:

  1. Readers sign up to read roughly 5 minutes of poetry or prose.
  2. Audience members get comment cards to write their thoughts, critiques, suggestions, and reactions.
  3. Moderators collect and review the comment cards, screening out any overt trolls and/or assholery.
  4. Comment cards are passed along to readers by the end of the event.

Readers will also get the opportunity at the start of their time to request feedback in certain areas--and they don't have to be related to the work itself! If you're more interested in hearing how your reading style or speed are coming across, for instance, you can ask the audience to focus their attention and comments in that area.

The sign-up sheet will go out at 7pm and the reading will start at 7:30pm or when all 10 slots are filled (whichever comes first). Writers of all genres and experience levels are welcome and encouraged!
