Writers’ Salon Theme: The Party
Co-hosted by Jessica Rao & Ines Rodrigues
Have you been to a rockin’ New Year’s party? A wild wedding? A dinner party that would make Gatsby envious? A party can be a bash for five hundred people, an intimate dinner for two, or a solitary dance in the living room. Parties bring together those we love and those we hate, or maybe a stranger who can change your life in one night. If you have a story about a party, we want to read it.
Broad interpretations, as well as all genres welcome — fiction, non-fiction, short play, or poetry.
Five selected authors will be notified by Thursday September 3 and will read their work at the Writers’ Salon at Yellow Studio, in person, on Wednesday, September 23 at 7pm.
