You’re invited to a special One Page Wednesday in collaboration with the Portland Book Festival’s Cover to Cover program of events!

ONE PAGE PRESENTS: ASK ME ANYTHING WRITERS’ EDITION WITH MARGARET MALONE

Join us on November 5th for a very special One Page Wednesday. Prior to the reading and open mic, we will host an author Q&A and roundtable chat with local fiction author Margaret Malone. Questions about industry? Need a new perspective on an element of craft? This is your opportunity to bring all of those writerly questions you can’t seem to find the answers to. Afterwards, we will move into our regular One Page event with Margaret Malone as the featured reader. Bring a single page from a work in progress and sign up if you’d like a chance to share, or come and enjoy the reading and prepare to be inspired.

Author Q&A with Margaret: 5:30 to 6:15 p.m.

One Page Wednesday Reading & Open Mic: 7:00 – 9:00 p.m.
