Writers on the Spit announces an entire evening of Open Mic Readings at 6:30 p.m., Friday, Nov. 25. Everyone is invited to this free event at The Lodge, 660 Evergreen Farm Way in Sequim.

The 5-Minute Open-Mic Readings showcase diverse writing talent — poetry, short-short stories and memoir excerpts. Whether you’re “becoming” a writer or are a seasoned writer, you are welcome to sign in.

Writers’ names are drawn randomly for reading position. Five-minute readings are timed, so rehearse in advance.

Because of the holiday season, readings about family and home are particularly welcome. Inevitably the evening is memorable — a great way to meet writers from around the Olympic Peninsula.

Published writers are welcome to bring their books and sell before and after the event.

The Media Room is accessible to everyone, with an elevator to the second floor.

Guidelines for Open Mic are available from lindab myers@yahoo.com.
