Sydney Speculative Scribes Open Mic - in partnership with WestWords
Join us for an end-of-year event to celebrate speculative fiction – out loud.

WestWords has partnered with Sydney Speculative Scribes to take your word from the page to the stage. Come read a short story or an excerpt from your longer work and listen to other speculative fiction writers in an intimate and supportive environment of writers in the same genre.

Special guests to be announced.

If you'd like to read, sign up to the open mic list when you arrive.

Your reading should be:

Speculative fiction (that's sci-fi, fantasy, horror, alt-history...)
Ideally 5 mins, no more than 8 mins long (about 1000 words)
Either a whole piece (microfiction) or a sensible chunk of a longer work (e.g. a chapter of a novel or a segment that leaves us wanting more from a longer short story)
Rehearsed and ready for sharing.

Date: Saturday 14th December, 2024
Time: 2pm-5pm
Where: WestWords Centre for Writing
41 Hunter Street, Parramatta

Parking is not available on location. We recommend parking at Parramatta Westfield. Or arriving via public transport to Parramatta Station. Both are within 5 minute walking distance.
