The Short Attention Span Storytelling Hour

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.
