Page Street Presents So You Want to read at Lit Crawl?—A pre-Crawl Tailgate
Saturday October 26, 2024 2:45pm - 4:00pm PDT
We'll open the doors at 2:45 pm to give you time to get a drink (wine, Prosecco, energy drinks) and get settled at a writing space.

At 3 pm, Page Street founder, Janis Cooke Newman, will announce the theme for our Phase One Lit Crawl event, Without a Net. (We're keeping the theme under wraps until then.)

Everyone will have 40 minutes to write 250 words (no more!) on our theme.

If you like what you've written, and want to read it at the Crawl, just drop your name into our sorting hat (bookish Happy Potter reference).

When the 40 minutes are up, we will randomly draw up to 20 names out of the hat to be our readers!
Our Lit Crawl event, Without a Net will take place at 5 pm at The Drawing Room on Valencia Street. (Yes, we know that's tight, so come prepared to go straight from Page Street to the reading.)
And be sure to alert your friends and family, so they can come and cheer you on!

Don't worry if you're not chosen to be a reader, we'll have some swag and consolation prizes for you!

This event is FREE but space is limited. RSVP HERE to secure your spot!
