About The Ocotillo Review Volume 3.1:
As with many of our projects, this edition came together organically, forming if not a theme, at least a common concept of choice. The choices represented in these stories and poems do not always have a possibility of positive outcome, nor or they always avoidable. We explore the idea of choice from many angles and perspectives in this international compilation. Not only do we feature widely published literary artists but also fresh new voices debuting here. In addition, The Ocotillo Review Volume 3.1 features writing from Texas and other states in the USA as well as works from as far as Australia, Spain, Romania, the Russian Federation, and other international locations.
DATE: Saturday, March 23rd, 3:00 - 4:30 PM

Writespace Monthly Workshop Open Mics
Writing can be solitary--but it doesn’t have to be! Once a month, we invite our workshop attendees, as well as the Houston literary community at large, to read their work in front of a supportive and encouraging audience. Everyone is welcome, from bright-eyed beginners to established pros.
For the first hour, we’ll hear readings from writers who have attended the previous month’s Writespace workshops. After a short break, the reading becomes an open mic, and writers from across Houston are invited to lift their voices! Each month we’ll have an optional theme to encourage creativity, but feel free to share any work you feel comfortable sharing, regardless of whether or not it fits the theme.
If you are interested in reading, please fill out this form. You will also need to check in with the emcee when you arrive.
DATE: Saturday, March 9th, 7:00 - 9:00 PM
THEME: Madness (Theme is optional)
