Creative Writing Open Mic!
Tuesday, November 5
5:30-7:00 PM | UC 309
Come and read your own work, whether poetry or prose, aloud to an audience of fellow writers and writing-enjoyers, or just come to hear some of what WCU’s creative writing community has to offer! If you would like to read, please arrive between 5:00 and 5:30 to put your name on the sign-up sheet. Read as many pieces as you’d like, but try and limit your time to 10 minutes at the absolute maximum in order to give others the chance to read their work!
