WELCOME TO

THE INNER LOOP

Celebrating a Community of Writers

For the love of lit...

LEARN ABOUT US

The Inner Loop is a literary reading series and network for creative writers in the Washington, D.C. metro area. We aim to create a space for both emerging and established writers to connect with their community, and to transform the written word into a shared experience through the act of reading aloud.

SUBMIT TO READ!

The Inner Loop seeks submissions from writers of poetry, fiction and creative nonfiction, at all levels. Submissions are accepted on a rolling basis, and writers will be notified two weeks prior to an event if they have been selected to read. When sending your work sample, please indicate genre, and keep in mind that it should be appropriate for a five-minute reading slot. Please feel free to use this form, or email us directly with attachments.
