Open Reads
Sierra Writers holds two open reads every year. These events are free and open to the public.
The Sierra Writers open read begins at 6:30pm. Members and visitors are welcome. There is no charge. The library is located at 980 Helling Way (next to the Rood Administration Center off of Route 49.)
Sierra Writers meet the second Wednesday of each month. Sierra Writers provides a venue for working writers of all types to meet, learn about each other’s work and share our experience.
Guidelines
Only one written work in any form—story, poem, prose, memoir, essay or excerpt—two-to-three pages, may be submitted per person. At the top of the entry, note whether work is fiction or nonfiction and beginning, middle, end or entire piece (such as in a poem), however, beginning pieces usually work best. Do not include author name. Entries must be typed, double-spaced, single-sided and printed in an easy to read font, size 12 point. Word limit is 750 words. The author of any given piece must be present. Attendees at the meeting are asked to be considerate in their feedback and to keep comments brief and tactful.
