Stories in the Vale — Group Author Reading & Open Mic Night

Saturday, February 21st
2:00 PM – 4:00 PM
 The Viridian Bookshop
 Free Event

Step into The Vale, our cozy multi-purpose room, for an evening of storytelling, creativity, and community.

Whether you’re an established author, a passionate hobbyist, or someone quietly nurturing a half-finished draft, Stories in the Vale is your time to share your voice.

 What to Expect

 Group Author Readings
You don’t need to be published – you just need a story. Share up to 10 pages of your work-in-progress. All readings should remain PG-13, even if the full work is not.

 Open Mic Format
We’ll begin with a few scheduled readers, then open the floor for anyone feeling inspired to read.

 Mingle & Network
Meet fellow writers, connect with local creatives, swap ideas, and build your circle. Whether you want feedback, encouragement, or simply a creative night out, this space is for you.

 A Welcoming, Supportive Environment
No judgment. No pressure. Just stories shared in good company inside Willoughby’s coziest little bookshop.

Come read, listen, laugh, and be part of The Vale’s storytelling magic.
Free to attend — no registration required.
