Storyteller's Events

NCWN Open Mic Night

Friday, August 20, 2010, 7-9pm

Come by The Storyteller's Book Store for the NCWN Open Mic Night. You don't have to be a professional writer to read at an open mic. Whether you write poetry, non-fiction, fiction or other genres, open mic's are a great way to get your voice heard, provides a platform even before your written work is published and is a wonderful place to meet other writers. Readers will have 5 minutes each. To ign up to read, email Megan Cutter at This e-mail address is being protected from spam bots, you need JavaScript enabled to view it .

The circle membership includes experienced storytellers and those new to the craft... and sometimes it's the new tellers that bring the real excitement! Story listeners are welcome equally as storytellers.

We meet twice monthly, usually a Thursday night and a Sunday afternoon. All Circles are open to the public, so please join us!

The Remembrance of Things Past Book Club

Sunday, August 22, 2010, 1:00-2:30pm

Because August is the traditional vacation season, we needed to change our usual meeting time and date. Please note these changes above.

Our selection for August is Beautiful Boy by David Sheff. The author addresses the questions that every parent faces with a child who is addicted to drugs. The work is acknowledged as "a fiercely candid memoir that brings immediacy to the emotional rollercoaster" that characterizes the journey of parents seeking help for a child who seems beyond reach.

New club members are welcome. Our group begins with a half-hour of meet and greet followed by an hour-long discussion of the book. Go to meetup.com to join or just come to the store on Sunday, July 11th at 3:00pm. The book is available in the store with a 20% discount for club members.
