<p>Featuring Lynn Edelson, Kathy Curto, Jack O&#8217;Connell, Steven Lewis.  Ah, summer—a break from school and a time to sleep in and hang out with friends. Or maybe instead it&#8217;s a time to catch the bus, clock in, and put on your nametag. We&#8217;ve assembled a trio of summer job stories from talented writers who recall those summer days all too well. </p>

Writers Read™ is a literary forum promoting established and emerging writers through curated live and digital performances celebrating the spoken word. It’s a high-quality platform for true personal stories—two pages and 650 words long, read aloud by the writer before an audience. Read650 places a strong emphasis on the craft of writing—word choices, sentence structures, the arc of the narrative. Our submission-based events are developed around broad themes that invite a wide range of expression. An editorial committee curates and sequences the content of each show and, where necessary, our editors collaborate with writers to further refine their work.
