NEW DATES FOR WRITERS’ NIGHT OUT: March 18 and April 15--Karen Holmes
March 1, 2011 – Writers’ Night Out is becoming the place to be on a Friday night in Hiawassee! In February, 31 people filled Green To Bean Coffee House for fun, literature and music. Normally on the second Friday of the month, Writers’ Night Out will take place on the third Fridays in March and April at 7 p.m.
On March 18, the program features Janice Townley Moore, award-winning poet and Young Harris College professor. The April 15 event features prose writer, Ron Salzer of Hayesville, NC. Beginning on May 13, Writers’ Night Out will resume on the second Friday of each month.
Those who’d like to share their own poetry or fiction can participate in the Open Microphone portion of the program, which follows the featured writer’s presentation. Those interested in reading at the Open Mic may sign up at the event. Each writer will have three minutes to read.
Writers’ Night Out takes place at Green To Bean Coffee House at 538 Bell Creek Road in Hiawassee, next to the Humane Society Thrift Shop and across from McDonald’s. Come early to get a seat: The February event had standing-room only. The evening is free and open to the public. Light snacks and refreshments, including coffees from freshly roasted beans, are available for purchase.

Writers and poets in the far western mountain area of North Carolina and bordering counties of South Carolina, Georgia and Tennessee post announcements, original work and articles on the craft of writing.
I look forward to another evening of interesting writers and enjoyable work from poets, musicians and authors of fiction and non-fiction.
