The Nye Beach Writers' Series is a year-round literary cabaret held the third Saturday of each month. An open mike follows intermission. Audience members are invited to read their own work for up to five minutes. No pre-registration is necessary. The open mike is limited to the first ten people to sign up. Open mike readers are encouraged to sell their books at the book table.
