Live Literature Reading Series at Writers in
Progress
Several times a year, Writers in Progress hosts an open house/reading as part of our Live
Literature series. The goal of the series is to provide a forum for new
and emerging writers (published or unpublished) to share their work with
the community.
The readings take place in our beautiful studio, at the
Arts & Industry
Building in Florence, MA. The events are free and open to the public, and
refreshments are served.
The WINTER open house will take place in March (date to be
announced) and will feature prose
and poetry by Jacqueline Sheehan, David Lovelace, Celia Jeffries, Diana
Gordon, and Dori Ostermiller.
