If you have any questions about these guidelines please do not hesitate to get in touch with us.
What can I read?
Any form of writing, fiction or non-fiction. Genres can include poetry, prose, haiku, essays, anecdotes, short stories or excerpts from longer works.
Original works only unless you have received expressed permission by email, phone or some other form of writing, to read someone else’s works.
We strongly embrace our right to free speech. However, be mindful of what you are reading and use good judgement. For example, please avoid excessive use of profanity.
How much time do I have to read?
It varies from event to event. Typically readers are given either 5 or 10 minutes. Featured readers are given more. Keep in mind that any introductory material; for example why you wrote the poem you are about to read, is included in the time given.)
It is important that you time yourself reading your works before the event. This helps readers from exceeding the time given to them.
