About

**This workshop will be live streamed via Zoom.** 

We’re excited to offer another salon via Zoom for writers of ALL levels of experience to read their work to an appreciative audience. All of this takes place from the comfort of your own home. All you need is a computer with a microphone.

This is a great opportunity to practice reading for your own book signings and a wonderful chance to reach new readers and meet people who love words as much as you do.

We will have slots for 12 readers to read five-minute selections. Keeping to a prescribed time limit is a skill and a courtesy all writers need to learn. (Of course you don’t have to use the entire five minutes if you have something very short.) Please register for "Reader" soon in order to snag one of these spots. We will also have plenty of room in cyberspace for members of the audience to enjoy some great readings.

Format:

1. Brief introductions. (Say your name, what you write, and give us a wave.)
2. At this point, everyone except the reader will be muted by the host. 
3. Five-minute intermission. Everyone will be unmuted to chat or do whatever needs to be done.
4. We’ll unmute everyone, and those who want to hang out can chat for a bit.

Details:

• This class will be live streamed via Zoom. For a great video on how to use Zoom, watch this tutorial.
• A Zoom link will be sent to the email account you registered with one day prior to the start. Please watch for this email.
