Feminist Bookstore Reading Series & Open Mic Featuring Greg Mania

Join us for a queer-friendly, feminist reading series at The Feminist Bookstore in Mission Hills!

Our series celebrates diverse voices alongside a featured reader. Before or after the main reading, we have a generative workshop where attendees get a prompt and write for 10 minutes. This helps generate new material that attendees can share at the open mic portion. After that, the microphone is open for attendees to share up to 3 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.
Feature: Greg Mania's words have been published in The New York Times, The New Yorker, McSweeney's, Vanity Fair, HuffPost,Oprah Daily, PAPER, and more. He is also a contributing editor to BOMB magazine, hosts The Rumpus's #ShowUsYourDesk, and co-hosts Empty Trash, a reading series in Los Angeles.
