September’s featured reader will be Ethel Mays, who has been published in the US and Canada, as well as in many parts of her beloved home state of California. Ethel has had the honor and pleasure of sharing her art and writing in diverse areas of the world. Her literary road trips have frequently included adventures on the Mendocino Coast and in Willits and Ukiah. She is happy to once again share her writings in the county that gave her the nickname of "Out-of-Town Local."

Writers Read has been happening in Ukiah since 1999, and occurs on the last Thursday of almost every month. The program focuses on poetry, spoken word, short stories, song, and expository prose. The evening will begin at 7:00 with a reading by Ethel, followed by an hour of open mic starting around 8:00. 

There is no fee, but donations are warmly appreciated.
