Each month, the Ponte Vedra Writers group supports area writers with workshops designed to help them improve their craft. But in June, writers have the opportunity to demonstrate what they’ve learned by sharing their work at a special open mic meeting. The group assembles this month on Saturday, June 25, at 11 a.m. at the Ocean Grove Condominiums, 1 Arbor Club Drive, Ponte Vedra Beach.
According to group leader Vic DiGenti, “Instead of listening to a workshop facilitator, the open mic meeting allows our writers to take their place in the spotlight by reading some of their best work to their peers. This is done in a non-judgmental atmosphere, so our intention is to celebrate the progress of each writer and lift them up.”
The meeting is open to all writers and all genres, whether poetry, fiction or nonfiction. Depending on the number of participants, each person will have between eight and 12 minutes to read, and the reading can be something new, old or a work in progress.
Advance notice is required if you wish to participate, to be sure there’s time for everyone to read. Email DiGenti at vicdig@mac.com if you wish to be one of the open mic readers.
