ECS will have ten 5-minute slots available (all genres welcome!), so please aim for a max of ~1,000 words. You don’t have to read your own work, but it is encouraged!
Whether you’re looking to tell a story, share a work in progress, read another writer’s work that rocked your world, find your audience, build your tribe, get feedback, or simply get outside of your comfort zone, consider this your sign.
Explore the beauty, community, and coastal charm that make 30A more than just a place to live-it’s a lifestyle.
