Lit Mic presents: Murder in the Bookstore

Sat, October 11 from 5:30 pm - 8:00 pm PDT
716 SE Grand Ave Portland, OR 97214

$15

The Literary Arts Bookstore and Cafe are thrilled to welcome Lit Mic for a very special immersive writing workshop! Participants will search for clues, interview witnesses, and conduct their own investigation via creative writing prompts and sharing to solve the murder.

About Lit Mic:
Portland Lit Mic is a community-oriented organization, dedicated to getting writers from all backgrounds together. Founded as a writers-only open mic by Portland State Alumni Jordan Marzka and Grace Lawrence, the two have gone on to plan and host immersive writing workshops and reading series. You can catch their open mic every second Friday of the month at Rose City Book Pub, or keep up on their current events by following their Instagram @portlandlitmic

Content warning—while Murder in the Bookstore is intended to be fun for all, themes of murder/violence and mild gore will be present.

Tickets are $15 and include a souvenir notebook to take down clues.
