Ann Averill’swork has appeared in several Christian publications. One of her short stories was published in a Writer’s Digest Short Short Story collection. A flash memoir recently went online in Write Angles Journal. A teacher for over 15 years, she is also the author of the Ebook, Broken, 180 Days in the Wilderness of an Urban Middle School,* available on Amazon. Besides writing, Ann enjoys tending silly chickens, tap dancing, and taking long walks in the cool, green woods. You can find her blog @ annaverill.weebly.com.
*My Ebook is adult fiction, based on a true story.
Here's how it works: The featured writer reads recent work and describes the journey to publication, followed by Q & A. Then the floor opens to other writers, who read for five minutes each. If you want to read, put your name in the hat before 3:15.

Mary Clare Powell is a lifelong teacher, retired professor at Lesley University, and poet. Her newest poetry book is Everyday Ecstasy, a collection about aging (which we are all doing). Growing older and experiencing its losses are here, but so are whimsy, joy, and gratitude--pondering a brother’s death, swimming in the river, conversing with a GPS, hanging up laundry. She was featured recently in the Greenfield Recorder. Read that HERE
Doors open at 7 - with an Open Mic. If you'd like a chance to read, place your name in the hat up until 7:10. Ten names will be randomly selected. The reading starts at 7:15, and each reader will have five minutes.
