Open Mic Book Exchange is a collaborative afternoon of storytelling, poetry, and community.
Bring a book that means something to you or buy one at the shop when you arrive. We’ll open up the mic and everyone is invited to share a piece, whether it’s a poem or a song inspired by the book, or a story about the version of yourself who first found it, this is a space to reflect, create, and connect. After everyone shares we will exchange books with one another, so everyone leaves with a new story to read!
Please be sure to arrive early to give yourself ample time to shop if you aren’t coming with a book.
Q&T Community is excited to host an Open Mic night of queer music, poetry, and storytelling.
Q&T Community is a small LGBTQ+ group based at Word Up Community Bookshop. Its weekly virtual writing group celebrated 5 years of intimate co-working and creative space in April 2024. Run by a team of one, its monthly game afternoons, annual pride picnic, and occasional open mics supplement its program.
Sign-ups start at 6:30pm. Open mic starts at 7pm.
If you have dietary restrictions, questions, comments, or concerns, please email us at qntcommunity@gmail.com.
