Free writers open mic in Seattle

Works in Progress is an open mic for all comers on the 1st and 3rd Monday every month. Read your work, meet other writers, and find out what’s going on in the literary community. Poetry, fiction, essays, memoirs, plays, unclassified, and unclassifiable work are all welcome. Listeners are also welcome. Slots are limited to five minutes, so practice your piece in advance to make sure it doesn’t go into overtime. Sign-ups begin at 6:30 p.m. Show up early to get your name into the list. Admission is free and the bar is open to provide hydration and courage. More details: http://hugohouse.org/upcoming-events/works-in-progress/
