“We’re celebrating a new year in literary pursuits, and marking the writing we’ve done to now,” said creative director Jacqueline Carmichael. “The featured readers will be the members of the Electric Mermaid writing community. This is a wonderful time to celebrate the gifts of writers among us, and to share words with others.”
Writers wishing to read their work at the event can email moderator Karl Korven at electricmermaidreads@gmail.com. Reading times will depend on how many readers there are.
