Open Reading at Novel
Our open readings will now be held at novel! Come early and sign up to read your work to others. Readings will start at 7pm and are held in novel’s basement event room. All readings are free and open to the public. Our August reading will be held on August 6 and our September reading will be on September 10.
pleas note—the novel site can be confusing saying “no tickets available” but this doesn’t mean the reading is full, rather no tickets are available due to it being a free event.
