Hello, happy Monday, and Happy HWC open mic week everyone!!! I hope everyone has been enjoying the end of summer, or at the very least surviving the heat. Regardless, you can come to Brazos bookstore this friday (8/21) at 6:30 to be air conditioned and hopefully share you poetry :3.

This month we are featuring two writers who are near and dear to my heart: Kathi Crawford and Leslie Archibald! Both of these amazing women have chapbooks they’ll be reading from, with Kathi reading selections from her new release: running with the beasts. There will be a table set up for the purchase of their work if that strikes your fancy :).

Open mic will follow, and I am excited to hear what yall have been cooking up. Come out this friday and have a good time with HWC! See you there !!!

MEET THE AUTHORS!

Hello gorgeous people, it’s Caelan :). Ahead of our reading and open mic tomorrow in collaboration with Tomeworks Edits (which you should totally come to btw), I wanted to take a moment to introduce our lineup of featured readers. Sean, Anna, Rob, and Enna are all outstanding writers, and an instagram slide doesn’t do their story justice. But I hope you take some time to get familiar with them regardless. If any or all of them interest you, you know where to come hear their writing tomorrow 👀.

I hope to see you all , tomorrow at 6:30!!!

Good evening and happy July pretty people!!!

It’s Caelan, and I want to first say I hope you, reader, are having a lovely summer so far :). Next, I’m overjoyed to announce that in two weeks, Houston Writing Central will be having its July reading & open mic in collaboration with Tomeworks Edits ()!

Our lineup this month features four science fiction and fantasy authors (see slide 2), many of whom I’ve worked quite closely with. You’ll become more familiar with them as the 17th approaches, but also take my word for it now that you’ll be missing out if you don’t come and hear what these amazing writers have to share. Plus, I want to hear what you’ve been working on!! That’s the best part!!!

So i hope to see you there, and that you have good fortune all throughout July ^_^.
