The Olive Readings happen on the second Wednesday of every month from January to April and September to December. These well-attended evening readings feature well-established local, Albertan, or Canadian writers reading from recent work. One month out of our year we feature readings from students of Creative Writing classes at Edmonton’s post-secondary institutions, offering a venue to showcase up-and-coming Edmonton talent.

This reading will feature 7 readers from the Horizons Writers Circle. This program provides support and mentorship for writers within the BIPOC, Indigenous, and ESL communities – and other underrepresented writers who live in Edmonton and are at the beginning of their literary journey. On April 9th, the readers will be: Poushali Mitra, Devika Short, Catalina, Patricia, Manna Liu, Ting Pimentel-Elger, and Ryan & Calamansi Club.

A short open mic session follows the main readings. The session is open to all attendees and provides a valuable, safe and non-judgmental reading environment for new writers.
