Question 1

How do I book an open-mic slot?

Accepted Answer

When you select your tickets, you can choose general entry or an open mic slot. If you'd like to perform, choose an open mic slot ticket. If there are no tickets remaining, we're sorry but the open mic is sold out!

Question 2

How long are open mic slots? What can I read?

Accepted Answer

Each slot is up to 5 minutes long, and we usually say either one piece of prose or up to 3 poems. Obviously this varies depending on what you are reading! You can read whatever you'd like to - polished, published, for practice or that thing you wrote this morning that you'd like everyone to hear!

Question 3

Is the venue wheelchair accessible?

Accepted Answer

Yes it is. Sheffield Plate has a lift which can be used to access the downstairs event space.

Question 4

I'm coming on my own and don't know anyone - help ease my nerves please!

Accepted Answer

We understand attending on your own can be nerve-wracking. On the night, The Writers Workshop staff will endeavour to introduce you to other writers, so you'll be in excellent company! If you have specific questions about the event, feel free to email us at hello@thewritersworkshop.co.uk.
