In our January 5 meeting, Kurt will present our first Disturbing Frequencies story and interview podcasts.

Attendees will then be invited to read from their current or in-progress works. (Older or sold stories and poems are also welcome, especially if you'd like feedback on the piece.) Please 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. Please try to arrive before 7 p.m. to put your name on the list for reading. After the readings conclude and time permits, we'll go around and share with the group what we're currently reading.
