Work In Progress: A Queer Literary Open Mic

Bring your poetry, fiction, essays, memoirs, or whatever's brewing in your creative mind to Hive Mind's monthly open mic celebration for queer and trans writers. Set in Bushwick's beloved queer-owned bookstore and coffeeshop—home to Brooklyn's most expansive collection of LGBTQ+ literature—you'll share your work in a space that truly gets it, surrounded by writers, readers, and community members who show up to lift each other up. Whether you're polishing your latest piece or sharing something raw and unfinished, this is your night to be heard, celebrated, and inspired by the voices around you. Grab a coffee, claim your spot, and let's make some literary magic together.
