In January 2016 I read with my group,The Stoneham Writers Group at a local coffee house. We had a blast and plan to do more readings in the near future, hopefully this summer. We are looking at possible dates for another event at Kushala Sip. I will post it when we confirm. I believe this is a great way to promote your work and have fun at the same time. It's especially fun with a group and I look forward to more events. It has been a long time since we've done readings, but I never forgot the feeling of connecting with an audience directly. It's also great to hear applause and get feedback on your work.
I have written extensively on the subject and I'm sure if you check out my Write Spot blog there is a post, albeit a few months back. There is also an article on the subject on my Portfolio page. Readings are a must for any writer, though I admit I don't do as many as I'd like. I have posted a few photos from the January Event at Kashala Sip Coffee House in Stoneham, Ma. and a few older photos from June of 2000. I hope to add more photos as we do events.
