Read Editing: Monthly Writers Meetup

The Read Wedding Open Mic has been around for over three years, hopping between a few spaces in our northern Kiez. In 2025, it became apparent that a method of meeting up more than once per month would be meaningful, yet maintaining the open mic to a monthly frequency is important to the organizers for a number of reasons. We also noticed how many other areas of poetry and storytelling don't necessarily have an abundance of events to service them. There's much focus on creation and performance, but not necessarily all that comes in between.

Enter Read Editing on the 2nd Monday of every month, or roughly halfway between each open mic. Here, you can join in a more traditional meetup format. We will gather for a combination of solitary writing time, sharing and feedback, and guided exercises. Just show up with some writing materials (or your phone, if you prefer) and if you have pieces you'd like to develop further or receive feedback on, those as well.

This event has been kept free from the beginning, but your donation here helps us immensely in our print projects and to put together other types of programming to benefit the broader scene of writers we serve. Please consider giving what you can, it will go to good use!
