The Knoxville Writers Guild invites the community to gather for its annual Holly Days Open Mic on Thursday, December 4, 2025, at 7:00 PM inside the warm, book-lined walls of Addison’s Bookstore. This cherished seasonal tradition celebrates the voices that shape our region—poets, storytellers, and writers of all genres.

Guild members will each have three minutes to share their work, creating an evening woven from imagination, memory, and craft. Attendees are welcome to bring drinks or sweets to share, adding to the festive spirit of the night. While the event is free and open to all, only current KWG members may sign up to read. Those wishing to take the stage can secure a spot through the official form:
