Wordier Than Thou is excited to bring their unique open mic to Gainesville, located at First Magnitude Brewing from 6:30pm- 8:30pm on Thursday, June 18 including TBA Featured writers.

The open mic focuses on storytelling and fiction – no poetry or music. So come share your finest prose, or if you’re just in the mood for listening, catch some tales from area wordsmiths.

A featured reader will kick off the night, followed by open mic slots. Open mic readers get 10 minutes and will be timed. We encourage all readers to stay to the end and support everyone who signs up to share their work.

Writers: please remember this is a family-friendly venue and children might be in the audience.

Suggested $5 donation at the door.
