On November 13, Folio: The Seattle Athenaeum invites local self-published authors, poets, bloggers, storytellers, and all wordsmiths to participate in their inaugural open mic night. Writers will be invited to share a piece from their self-published work in a supportive literary setting while enjoying a complimentary beer and wine reception. Arrive by 6:30pm to sign up for a spot on the stage.

Authors can bring their self-published books to the event to sell. Reservations are recommended and tickets are a “donate what you want.” More information about the event can be found at folioseattle.org.

National Novel Writing Month (NaNoWriMo) write-ins also return to Folio in November on Saturday afternoons.

Writers are welcome to write in sprints with the group or go at their own pace while enjoying the company of fellow writers from 1pm to 4pm. They can also add to their NaNoWriMo duck collection or win other prizes such as a pocket notebook, free books, pens or Folio passes. More details on the website.
