The Ruby Open Reading event is a chill, supportive place to share a work-in-progress and hear from our amazing Ruby member writers. Think salon, not performance.

​We'll have a sign-up sheet for the reading when you arrive. If you're thinking about reading (which is not a requirement for attending), please plan for 5-8 minutes of time. Polished drafts and rough messes and everything in between are welcome! ​We've had poems, music, essays, screenplays, and fiction! After each read, each listener will echo back one or two phrases that resonated with them.

​We'll mingle a bit with potluck-style snacks and get to know each other before opening the reading, and have time after to continue conversations. Non-readers and supportive women-identifying and nonbinary friends of members welcome to join.
