About

This class has been canceled.

Michele Ruiz Keil hosts a special Bainbridge Island edition of her Portland reading series. Featured writers are asked to engage with a host-chosen fairy or folk tale--either through a connection to existing work or using the tale as a prompt for something new. The connection need only be evident to the writer. Most often, something magical happens! Join Whidbey Island's Talese Babb and Seattle-based writers Jessica Bergamino, Michael Matewauk, and Diana Xin as they share their work and stay for a salon-style discussion followed by an open mic session for talented new writers. 

The stories shared in this series are not always suitable for small children. We explore original tales in all their weirdness and put no limits on the writers' response to them. Most often the work we share is best for teen and adult audiences. 

Details:

  • This class will be held in BARN's Great Room located on the upper level just past the front desk.
