Save the date, and bring a poem to share, and join us for our annual Poets About Town open mic reading and showcase! All participants must follow local Covid guidelines (currently in Los Angeles County masks are required for all, regardless of vaccination status). Here are the details: - Bring 2 poems or 2 pages (whichever comes first) to read.
-Open mic sign up starts at 1:50pm. Arrive early to ensure your spot.
-Have you published a collection of poems recently? Let’s celebrate your hard work! We invite you to bring copies of your title to sell or trade (1 title per poet, please -- we have limited space to showcase titles, and we want to make sure we have room for everyone).
Find details about every creative writing competition—including poetry contests, short story competitions, essay contests, awards for novels, grants for translators, and more—that we’ve published in the Grants & Awards section of Poets & Writers Magazine during the past year. We carefully review the practices and policies of each contest before including it in the Writing Contests database, the most trusted resource for legitimate writing contests available anywhere.
