Writing Workshop Lottery: Read drafts, critique (Morning)

IN-PERSON EVENT @ Jarrod's New Location: 109 W University Dr. Mesa, AZ

Welcome to our Saturday morning event! We now run a lottery to keep our community diverse, respectful, and motivated. And it works!

HOW DOES THIS SYSTEM WORK?

Due to table space and time, we limit events to 12 participants, so we created a lottery for those who wish to share and/or give feedback. Just sign up, then check back in on the Friday before the event to see if you are in the top 12 who will attend. Please limit your work at 2000 words.

Lottery events are designed with the intention to:
1. Incentivize diversity of authors (We don't play favorites).
2. Incentivize accountability (Houston: We have a flake problem...).
3. Incentivize new people to join while also rewarding dedicated members.

ADDITIONAL FAQ:

Does the event cost money?
No! But you MUST buy something from Jarrod's Coffee to support them.

I'm on the "Waitlist" what does that mean?
Check back in on the Friday before the event to see the actual list for the next day, then show up the next day, prepared to read or share. Please email mike at "cmVkc2FuZHNwaHggfCBnbWFpbCAhIGNvbQ==( http://redsandsphx@gmail.com)" if you have more questions.

Can I really bring any type of writing?
Yes! We love it all: screenplays, poetry, short stories, non-fiction...anything!

My writing is genre, is that okay?
Yes! Bring your sci-fi, mystery, western, literary, or any other genre.

I'm afraid someone will hate my writing, what should I do?
