Guidelines for Performers
Book Sales
- We encourage you to bring books to sell at the book table during the event.
- If you are an emerging writer and have not yet had a book published, you could consider creating a self-published item to sell such as a chapbook or broadsheet.
- We do not take a commission from your book sales.
Arrive Early – Between 7:00 and 7:15
- We want to have time to get set up for book sales, get drinks etc.
Reading Time
Generally 15 minutes
- Reading times will be discussed with readers individually and can vary depending on the event. Please keep your reading within the time limit suggested.
Invite People
- The audience comes out for the performers after all, so please invite some people from your circles.
- There will be a Facebook invitation for each event; please feel free to use this to invite people you know too.
- There is no door charge.

Thanks for hosting this event on February 20 2011 at Cafe Orange Izakaya. Really enjoyed sharing some of my own work and hearing other emerging artists.
All the best.

heh Thanks Gang for a great event, lots of fun to read to the public
Reading at the March meeting was my first exposure to Vertigo, and my only regret is that I live so far away and can’t make the four hour plus commute, more often. It was a wonderful evening of sharing, and meeting talented people in the trade. The audience was wonderfully appreciative and warm. If you haven’t experienced Vertigo, I’d encourage you to go at least once. Cheers. Susan
