Have you been working on a piece of creative writing and are wondering what to do with it next? Open Mic Nights are a great way to share with other writers and practice your spoken word performance in a friendly, inspiring, and supportive space, and we're offering an online option in lieu of publicly gathering. Join us online every FIRST SATURDAY @ 7pm over Zoom to sign up for a max. 10-minute reading slot at Cellar Door, Maple Valley's first inaugural Writers' Open Mic Night! The call will start at 7:00pm and the first readings will start by 7:30pm. Ten 10-minute slots are available on a first come, first serve basis. Bring your completed works and works in progress, poems, essays, fiction and non-fiction alike!

Email producer Jaimie Li (jaimie.z.li@gmail.com) with your writer's bio in order to reserve your slot and receive the Zoom meeting details. We look forward to seeing you there!
