Calendar

In our July 1 meeting, attendees are invited to read from their current or in-progress works. (Older or sold stories and poems are also welcome, especially if you'd like some kind of feedback on it.) Please try to arrive before 7 to put your name on the list for reading. Bring a short piece or a portion of a longer work -- fewer than 1,000 words if you can, but up to 2,000 words if you can't break the scene -- so everyone has sufficient reading time and attendees have time to provide their feedback. We'll read works in order from shortest to longest, to ensure the greatest number of people get to read.

Moderator: Alan Michaels
Location: Barnes & Noble, Pittsford
Meeting Time: July 1, 2014 from 7:00 - 9:00 p.m.

Join us for the official public launch of our second anthology, Rochester Rewritten, on Monday, May 5th, 7:00-9:00 pm @ Fairport Brewing Company Tap Room! Many of the regional authors will be on hand—along with books a-plenty and food for all—so come on out, celebrate with us, and enjoy a pint or two of local beer (non-alcoholic beverages are also available). More…

Don't forget to come and read your own work (or give feedback on someone else's) at our May 6 R-SPEC meeting. 

R-Spec meets eleven months of the year on the first Tuesday of the month. (We don't hold a regular meeting in December.) Normally we meet at the Barnes & Noble in Pittsford (3349 Monroe Avenue, Rochester, NY 14618), from 7 to 9 p.m. For 'Reading' meetings, please show up early so we can put your name on the list to read. This calendar is also available as a PDF. Please contact us if you have any questions. 

We have extended the submissions deadline for our next anthology, Rochester Rewritten: Alternative Rochesters, to 31 March 2011. More after the break.
