A paper-thin open mic requires that participants read a work in progress from paper. No phones. No devices.
This allows artists and authors to share pieces that may be in a first draft or nearing completion. Conference participants are encouraged to sign up to share during this time. Folks can also attend writing workshop sessions that are scheduled throughout Monday with DJ Rogers, Ayanna Albertson, and Annette Saunook Clapsaddle to generate, revise, and polish possible works for the open mic.

Special Guests: Charly Lowry, DJ Rogers, Ayanna Albertson, El'Ja Bowens
