The Reading Committee is a space for creative exchanges in support of authors/authoress’ and their writing projects (screenplay, novel, poem, comic strip, etc.). The writing process can be difficult, bringing on feelings of isolation and frustration at running circles around an idea. Now, picture a table with the sun pouring into our offices as the writer settles in, coffee is served and three smiling faces invite him/her to describe the pain points that he/she would like to address. Committee members are there to help artists take a step back and offer encouragement through benevolent relationships.
