 would you like to share a sample of your work to a receptive audience\, an
 d get constructive feedback? Sign up by leaving a comment on this page (an
 d be sure to RSVP to this evening's event) and your name will appear in du
 e time on the list below.\n**Please make sure your screen name matches the
  name you used to sign up.**\n\n1. Nikolas D.\n2. Holly A.\n3. Art\n4.\n\n
 Alternate)\n\nAloha!\n\nJoin us for another Tele-Story event\, on Zoom!\n\
 nThe Zoom link will be visible on this page\, once you RSVP.-- please un-R
 SVP if your plans change and you will not make it.-- message me for techni
 cal assistance.\n\nThese are informal\, low pressure\, wine-friendly oppor
 tunities for members to share their writing and invite discussion. We won
 ’t singularly focus on technical writerly feedback\, but rather allow ea
 ch piece to be a trigger for a short discussion based on what comes up for
  each of us. Organize your feedback in terms of what you liked about the p
 iece.\n\nSchedule (updated as we confirm readers):6:30 - 7pm -- Happy Hour
  (and troubleshooting)-- Say hello\, have a glass of wine or a bite of din
 ner with us\, virtually.-- Please join us at 6:30 if you are not experienc
 ed with Zoom\, in case you need to troubleshoot your computer / Zoom.\n\n7
 :00-9:00pm -- Readings and Discussion. Leave a comment below or message th
 e host if you'd like to read. And\, don't forget to RSVP if you plan to re
 ad! Otherwise\, please join us as a valued listener and discussant!\n\nUsu
 al format for authors:\n\nFour confirmed speakers\, and one alternate.\nCo
 nfirmed speakers have a total of 30 minutes for reading followed by feedba
 ck. Any unused time will go to alternates.\nAuthors usually aim for five t
 o ten minutes of reading (\\~5\, double spaced).\nFeedback will start with
  a "lightening round" of short\, constructive comments. Authors can ask fo
 r clarification but should avoid back-and-forth discussion until after the
  lightening round.\nIf you want a particular kind of feedback\, or a diffe
 rent format\, feel free to discuss with the host or let the listeners know
  before you read.\nUsual format for listeners / feedback:\n\nWe start with
  a "lightening round"\, where everyone has the option to give one minute o
 f feedback (with an additional minute of overtime\, at the discretion of t
 he host and author).\nFocus on what you liked and what could make it even 
 better\, rather than what "didn't work".\nUse Zoom's "Raise hand" option\,
  to give feedback.\nAfter the lightening round\, we open it up to longer f
 orm feedback and discussion.\nAvoid "interviewing the author"\, and focus 
 on the writing\, unless there is an abundance of time.\nIt is never too ea
 rly to let us know you are available to read Next Time!\n\nP.S. Zoom / int
 ernet problems:Telephone audio is much more reliable\, if you don't have a
  stable internet\, with (or without) your computer video.
