Readings
& Events
I’m passionate about bringing writers together, to shine, perform, listen, and clap for one another. Over the years, I have cofounded, curated, featured in, and hosted hundreds of literary events. My monthly open mic, Saturday Night Special, has been running since 2011. All are welcome!
I’ll be headed out on tour this summer with my new book Lions Like Us. Hope to see you! Scroll down for details.

Join SNS for an extra lucky open mic on the last Saturday in June.
Have you ever wished on a dandelion? Thrown I-Ching Pennies? Read a horoscope, had a tarot reading, found a 4-leaf clover? Cast a spell? Owned a happy cat charm? Do you have a dice tattoo? What about the parking gods? Are they on your side? Have you dodged a bullet? Kissed a Blarney Stone or a frog? Thrown broken dishes at a house? Been crapped on by a bird? Thrown salt or knocked on wood?
For this month's writing challenge, you are invited to write about luck. Do you believe (or unbelieve?) Are you lucky or unlucky? What's your secret to luck?
Come share your poems, stories, songs, dances, or short comedy sketches at our open mic.
