OUR LATEST PODCAST 

The WRITERSREAD PODCAST, hosted by founder Ed McCann, presents three stories drawn from our themed Live Shows and adds a segment we call “Between The Lines”— short, personal meditations about any and all aspects of the writing life from those who live it.

JUST WRITE IT

WRITERSREAD is interested in short personal essays on specific topics to be read aloud. Review our open submission topics for one that inspires you; we welcome original stories, though you’re free to adapt earlier work as well.  We promote the work, you retain the rights.

“IT’S NOT STAND-UP, AND IT’S NOT THERAPY;
IT’S LEGITIMATE LITERARY WORK, GIVEN VOICE BY THE WRITER.”
