Words beg to escape the page. If you bleed raw stream of conscious in your words, they need to be belted out to express the pain, anger, or joy. Words are the most powerful when presented by the crafter. Find your voice; being seen for your art is for the joy of everyone

• Poets - if you carefully craft your style with measured syllables and rhyme, that can be brought to life with the rhythm and cadence of reading it aloud.
• Storytellers - spin us a 2-5 minute tale. Let your tone and expression amplify the power of your narration.
• Song writers - give voice to your lyrics. We celebrate the words and cheer on your melody. We welcome all genres.
