Mechanics’ Hall is partnering with Maine Writers and Publishers Alliance Lit Fest Lit Crawl and Back Cove Books for an Open Mic unlike any other: great writers reading their worst writing. Participating authors include Coco McCracken, Lynn Steger Strong, Mira Ptacin, Jaed Coffin, Gibson Fay-LeBlanc, Marko Pogačar, and others.

Want to get in on the cringe? The mic is open! We invite you to join these brave souls and share the worst piece of writing you have ever written! Get out your old journals, dig up those love poems from college, find the first draft of the novella that never was: step up to the mic and share your best worst writing.

Complimentary snacks and liquid courage provided by Cocktail Mary! Free, no registration required.
