Join us for an inaugural Open Mic in partnership with the Straw Dog Writers Guild featuring a pop-up coffee truck from Franklin County’s Dean’s Beans Organic Coffee! To celebrate the Guild’s fifteenth anniversary, Straw Dog invites fifteen writers to read three-minute excerpts from a range of genres, spanning poetry, prose, and fiction. Interested in participating? Writers may sign–up onsite at The Mount between 10:30-10:45 am — readers will be selected at random. Join us for the chance to let your writing ring through the historic grounds of The Mount or simply to attend a dynamic literary event and enjoy a cup of organic coffee!
