SUMMARY:January 2025 Virtual Open Mic Night
DESCRIPTION:The Pat Conroy Literary Center’s monthly Open Mic Night will be as a virtual event\, live-streamed to our Facebook page\, on Thursday\, January 9\, from 6:00 to 7:30 p.m. Our featured presenter is Niles Reddick\, award-winning short story writer and author of Who’s Going to Pray for Me Now? Open Mic will also feature short readings of 3 to 5 minutes each by other writers in many genres. \nWhen: Thursday\, January 9\, 2025 at 6 PM – 7:30 PM EDT\nPrice: Free · Duration: 1 hr 30 min\nWhere: Virtual – Facebook \nInterested in reading as part of Open Mic? Let us know at contact@patconroyliterarycenter.org \nWe want to build our community of writers and an appreciation for the art and talent of new\, emerging\, and long-time writers. Thank you for supporting this partnership! \nEvent Facebook Page \nAbout our author:\nNiles Reddick is author of a novel\, four short fiction collections\, and two novellas. His work has appeared in over five hundred publications including The Saturday Evening Post\, New Reader Magazine\, Cheap Pop\, Flash Fiction Magazine\, Citron Review\, Hong Kong Review\, and Vestal Review. \n“Even though we don’t know when it’s going to happen\, be damn sure\, if it’s going epic than we need a 1965 Skylark\, fast and focused with a smooth and graceful landing\, to help blast the transition! Reddick presses fiction into the ultimate excursion. DEATH! Who’s Going To Pray For Me Now is a mesmerizing collection: flammable and saturating tales of those final moments when we become feverish weeds whacked into oblivion. These narrative adventures are palpable and inescapable. LOVE! GET A COPY”–Meg Tuite\, author of White Van and an editor at Bending Genres \n“The stories in Niles Reddick’s Who’s Going to Pray for Me Now? show us what it means to be in the know\, whether it’s the inside of a 1965 Skylark or the way to handle snakes in a county church. But there’s also a lot of heart here\, the little hurts and reconciliations of coupledom in a world where two equals more than one plus one. The best flash fiction keeps opening outward after you’ve read it. Reddick’s stories do that and more.”—David Galef\, author of My Date with Neanderthal Woman and editor of Vestal Review \n  \n\nThis program and others like this would not be possible without your financial help for which\, as always\, Pat Conroy Literary Center gratefully thanks you.
