Online Open Mics Give Voices to Women
I'm Trish Hopkinson, a poet and advocate for the literary arts. As someone who has conducted hundreds of interviews with literary magazines, journals, and presses with a focus on sharing information on how to write, publish, or participate in the larger poetry community, I know the importance of reading your work.
Whether published or not, the Open Mics give women writers the opportunity to be heard on a global platform where they can share readings in a supportive environment.
The online chat is always rich with congratulatory and positive feedback for all readers, building confidence and community. These events are such a RICH experience. I felt so grateful to be a part of it, to be part of this community.
Each Open Mic features an interview with a well-known poet, fiction or nonfiction author and readings from the guest author's work. Reknowned authors hosted on the IWWG Open Mic series have included Nina Shengold, the first Native American Poet Laureate Joy Harjo and coming up Tina Barry and Jerrice Baptiste. Click here for a list of upcoming Open Mic events.
These free events raise the decibel of women's voices from around the globe.
The funds being raised will cover the costs of producing the Open Mics for one year.
Whatever you can give will help the IWWG continue the series. And your power is in more than what you can give - it's in who you can inspire as well, so please share this campaign on your social media to broaden the circle of giving.
Sincerely,
Trish Hopkinson
on behalf of the IWWG
