OUR LATEST PODCAST
The Writers Read Podcast, hosted by founder Ed McCann, presents five-minute true, personal stories drawn from our themed Live Shows. These beautifully crafted essays are short personal meditations the illuminate common experiences and emphasize our shared humanity.
UPCOMING SHOWS
Writers Read presents regular live events at The Loft at City Winery NYC and other venues in the Hudson River Valley — shows from which we produce our podcasts. Not everyone is a writer, but anyone can be part of our podcasts with their applause! Sign up for our newsletter or follow us on social to stay connected and informed.
JUST WRITE IT
Writers Read is interested in short personal essays on specific topics to be read aloud. Review our open submission topics for one that inspires you; we welcome original stories, though you’re free to adapt earlier work as well. We promote the work, you retain the rights.
“It's not stand-up, and it's not therapy; it's legitimate literary work, given voice by the writer.” —Annabel Monaghan • columnist, essayist, and author of Nora Goes Off Script
