Fourth Friday event to feature fast-paced readings from ‘Spontaneous Writing’

Published 1:30 am Wednesday, June 20, 2018

Fourteen local writers will read short selections from “Spontaneous Writing,” a book newly published by Wide Awake Publishing, in the media room at The Lodge, 660 Evergreen Farm Road beginning at 6:15 p.m. on Friday, June 22, as part of the Fourth Friday series.

“Spontaneous Writing” includes fiction, poetry and memoir from the Spontaneous Writing Group which has met monthly in Sequim for three years, first under the leadership of Ruth Marcus and now Heidi Hansen and Bonnie Dickmann.

Each month, the group writes to specific prompts. “Even though we all receive the same prompt, our experiences and interests produce a wide range of writings,” Hansen says. “This is what we will be demonstrating at this public reading.”

The writers selected to read selections from “Spontaneous Writing” include Dickmann, Hansen, Marcus, Gordon Anderson, Cheryle Hoskins Bigelow, Patricia DeMarco, Dianne Knox, Judy Larimore, Phil Libott, George and Neva Miller, Terry Moore, Vyk Morrison and Lily Todd.

Five-minute open mic readings will follow the presentation. Interested writers should come early to submit their names; please rehearse in advance as the readings are timed. For guidelines, contact lindabmyers@yahoo.com.

The event is free but beverages and pastries may be purchased at the Bistro in the Lodge.
