The Program: writers sit down and write for a half hour in silence - prompts are available but not obligatory. When the half hour is up, the work is collected, distributed at random, and writers are invited to give each other written reactions and commentary, still in silence. The night ends w/chit chat and libations (should you choose). We don't intend to make the Roulette a regular writing group, always attended by the same people, but each event has the potential to spawn long-lasting partnerships, editorial friendships, or collaborative projects
