The One Page Salon is hitting the road in 2024! Called “the best literary evening in town” by the Austin American-Statesman, we’re excited to partner with our friends at The Writer’s Garret for a special OPS at the Dallas is Lit! literary festival in May. 

For this very special night, five outstanding writers – including Amanda Churchill, Aaron Glover, Maya Golden, Manuel Luis Martinez, and more! – will read one page from a work in progress, which means the audience will be among the first to hear new material from our talented line-up. Plus, there will be literary chit chat and fun & games and laughter and so much more.

The One Page Salon will take place at the Apprentice Creative Space in Oak Cliff and we’ll have a bookseller on hand selling an assortment of great reads, including our readers’ latest books. Your host for the evening will be WLT Executive Director Becka Oliver.
