We’re doing another Word Swap this Friday, share your writing with other writers. We did it last month on a soggy night, this month, more! The idea is to bring a bunch of copies of your work (poem, short story, chapter, zine, article, essay, etc.) and take home copies of other people’s. Informal, and feedback optional. No workshop, no reading, no obligation! Friday, Nov. 20, 6:30-8:30pm, at Cha-cha’razzi! 1918 S. Bancroft st.
