Open Mic showcases local writers’ prose and poetry and celebrates the spoken word.
These free events, which have been held in Kelso, Peebles, Jedburgh, Melrose, St Boswells and Hawick, are open to non-members as well as a listening audience. Refreshments are available at a small cost.
Reading slots are timed to last a maximum of five minutes (around 700 words of prose). In preparation for the Open Mic, participants are advised to time the work they wish to read. For further details, click this link: A Friendly Guide to Open Mic Events for BWF Readers
