Local writers, selected from submissions, will present short original work on the theme. The writers will also be available for a Q & A after the reading.

Colleen also co-hosts a podcast on writing at FSU with Sean Towey. She's from Austin, TX, and lives in a yellow house with her husband and her cat.

Midtown Reader will not be hosting a story slam in July, so be sure to join us on June 7th for our last story slam before the break!
