New Year, New Works! Open Mic

ONLINE (Zoom) – link forthcoming
All are welcome to this free event, but pre-registration is required.
About this Event:
A new year has begun and authors/poets are welcomed to share their work of fiction, non-fiction or poetry on Zoom. Whether you choose to share a published piece or a work-in-progress, we’re excited to hear your words!
There are reading spots for 10 Canadian Authors–Toronto members and two non-members. Each person will read for four minutes.
To reserve your spot as a reader, please email CAA–Toronto Secretary Adam Meridan (hellomeridan at gmail.com) with the subject line “Jan open mic and name”.
We are looking forward to hearing your words!
All are welcome to attend, and we hope you’ll invite friends and family to join the audience.
Note: We are requesting readers to present works that do not have any mentions of extreme violence, rape, incest and subjects that could be triggering and reduce the enjoyment of the event for others.
Help us spread the word!
Share the event details on social media and/or tell your friends and family. Use hashtag #CAAEvents!
Stay tuned to the Authors–Toronto “Events” web page for regular programming and event updates.
As always, we welcome your feedback on all of our activities. Email co-president Lee Parpart at TOpresident1@canadianauthors.org with comments, questions, or ideas about our programs and events.
We’re working to expand the number of writing circles that we can offer to members. We’re looking for branch members to launch and moderate new Authors–Toronto writing circles outside of the downtown core. Our Annex Writing Circle meets the second Thursday of every month at the CSI Annex and is at capacity, but we are open to working with new members to start another monthly group at the same location. Please email Lee at TOpresident1 at canadianauthors.org for more details about writing circles.
And if you know any writers who are not already members of Canadian Authors Association, please talk to them about the benefits of joining. To join Canadian Authors Association or renew your membership, click here.

Thank you for your interest! We look forward to seeing you.
