The One Page Salon (called “the best literary evening in town” by the Austin American-Statesman) is a monthly reading series presented by the Writers’ League of Texas.
On Tuesday, October 6, join us for an extra special edition of the one-of-a-kind One Page Salon! It will be a night of revelry, literary fun, and exciting giveaways. Five outstanding writers—Owen Egerton, Laurie Filipelli, Meg Jerit, Addison Kliewer, & Greg Marshall—will read one page from a work in progress or recently published work, which means the audience will be among the first to hear new material from our talented line-up. Come to laugh, come to cry, come to find your community and maybe walk away with a special prize! Your host for the evening will be Becka Oliver.
The One Page Salon takes place on the lovely outdoor patio (weather permitting) at Radio Coffee & Beer in South Austin where attendees can enjoy coffee and beer and other libations. There are some food trucks if you want to pick up a tasty bite to eat and Reverie Books will be on hand selling an assortment of great reads, including our readers’ latest books.
