Village Books is pleased to announce that the emcee mantle for our monthly Open Mics has passed to local author, Sean Dwyer. We are grateful to our former host, Andy McBride, and wish him well on his next ventures. 

A little bit about Sean:
Seán Dwyer is the award-winning author of short stories that have appeared in several anthologies and journals. He is the author of a memoir, A Quest for Tears, the story of his recovery from a brain injury. He is a champion of writing in community and often hosts writing retreats. A native of Gary, Indiana, Seán lives in Belliingham, Washington, with his wife, his hairless cat, and an assortment of musical instruments.

Village Books invites everyone to enjoy local talents as they share their own stories, poems and essays. Published and unpublished writers are encouraged to attend and enjoy a welcoming audience. Open mic is usually held the last Monday of each month at 7pm in the Readings Gallery.* Sign up at our main counter on the first floor or call (360) 671-2626. Andrew McBride, local writer and editor, will emcee.
