The Works in Progress (WIP) Reading Series started several years ago at Maggie Golston's independent bookstore Biblio on Congress Street, where graduate students of the University of Arizona Creative Writing Program read their in-progress poetry and prose to fellow writers and the Tucson community. The series is organized and maintained by the students.

The WIP series allows graduate students of all genres a forum and space to read their work and to practice public speaking. The twice monthly readings are free and open to the public on Fridays from 7-10 p.m. Highlighted poets and writers are announced the week before the event, so you never know who'll be reading. Ooh, mystery and suspense!

Past readers include new, award-winning poets and writers whose works-in-progress have went on to win accolades in The Atlantic Monthly's annual writing contest and the University of Arizona Student Poetry Contest, publication in the Cimarron Review, Verse Daily, Backwards City Review, you are here (the journal of creative geography), among many others.
