On Saturday I'll be heading to Read by the Sea, the eighth annual installment of what sounds like a really fun literary festival.
Authors Gary Blackwood, Don Hannah, Joan Clark. Pamela Hickman, Ami McKay, Freeman Patterson and Mark Oakley will read from their recent works then participate in brief interviews.
There is even an open mic event in the evening to give writers an opportunity to read their work aloud. It makes me sick just to think of doing so, but maybe I'll gather up my internal fortitude and throw my name into the ring. There are only eight spots available. I'll let you know.
The icing on the cake is that Linda Little has invited me to drop by and introduce myself. How could I resist? Linda is one of the founders of the event and the award winning author of Strong Hollows and Scotch River.
An interview with Linda and will be posted on July 30/31. She has some really worthwhile advice for us new writers. Very practical and encouraging.
Have a great weekend!

Do it. The experience will make it easier next time. And you never know what influential people may be in the audience.
Hey Stephen! Have you been to one/done a reading? What's it like? Do listeners provide feedback?
