Whether it’s a reading, discussion, craft talk, or interview, find these events and more featuring renowned authors, emerging writers, and talented new and local voices.
Collections exists in a space in between the publishing world and the open mic—a third space. A space to present finished and polished work; a space to come together with peers and allies to share fresh ideas; a space to forge community.
