Conversations With Writers

Monday March 26, 2012

7:00 PM - 9:00 PM
Contact Fred Melden

The event takes place on the last Monday of each month, each time with a different guest presenter(s). A monthly event inviting writers to read and discuss their work with the audience. Not an open mic, not a reading, but something different. We, the audience, ask questions of the writer about their work, their style, the reasons for their choices. Influence Music Hall, 135 SE 3rd Ave, Hillsboro
