Where do you go for live performances? Once a month you can catch some of the best local poets and writers right here at Watershed Books. Bring your own work to share and get a chance to test it out in front of a welcoming and encouraging audience! 

Last fall, we started hosting monthly open mic nights and they have been a huge success. We usually have 12-15 people show up to read and enjoy each other’s company. People usually read poems, flash fiction, memoir, essays, selections from longer pieces and more. It’s surprising to see the wide array of creative people who live right here in our area.

Join us for a laid-back atmosphere of people who love to nerd out about local writing. Performing your work is a great way to test it out and improve your craft. Listening to others read their pieces can entertain and inspire you. You may just find your new favorite writer!
