Feminist Bookstore Reading & Open Mic Feat. Lily Hoang

Join us for a queer-friendly, feminist reading series at The Feminist Bookstore in Mission Hills! The feature, author Lily Hoang (UC San Diego Creative Writing MFA Program Chair and author of many books, including Underneath) will start us off with a 30 minute generative workshop, so bring paper and pen! Then, she will share a reading to start things off followed by the open mic portion of the evening.

Our series celebrates diverse voices and features a funny and entertaining drag queen emcee (to be announced), alongside one or two featured readers. After the main readings, the microphone is open for attendees to share up to 5 minutes of prose, poetry, or music in an inclusive, welcoming space. Tickets are free, and we invite all to participate and amplify their voices. Hosted by Jaded Ibis Press, a nonprofit feminist press dedicated to socially engaged literature by marginalized voices, this series promises an inspiring night of creativity and community.
