We are postponing the "Lions and Typers Festival", originally scheduled for June 13th and 14th, until late September. Our reading series is moving this fall to The Wilde Pug, a contemporary American take on a cozy English pub. Located downstairs from the Uptown Writer's Space at 4808 N. Broadway - www.worldsgreatestbar.com.

They have a wonderful back room and are reportedly? reputedly? thrilled to host our reading series. This will be great for writers who crave a larger audience than we can provide at the UWS and for writers who are more particular about their drinks than Julie and Susan (valentine hearts and red wine anyone?).

We hope you share our excitement in moving to this fun new venue, where you can party like you did in 1999 or 1989, or will in 2009.

We will kick off the series late September combining "Lions and Typers" with our second anniversary celebration. We hope you will all participate by reading your work.

"Lions and Typers" is the mothership of all our readings with performances by all the Uptown Writers and some special guests, and of course the very long secret ritual!

The reading series will then continue on the third thursday evening of each month.

A note about our readings:
They are open to the public but they are not "open mikes". The readers are selected by invitation of The Uptown Writers Space and members are free to submit their work for the readers series.
