For 19 years, the Final Thursday Reading Series has happened on the last Thursday of each month in Cedar Falls without fail. Through illnesses, snowstorms and last minute changes, we’ve never missed a month. And though the current COVID-19 outbreak makes a physical event impossible, FTRS will be going online.
On Thursday, March 26, the Final Thursday Press website http://www.finalthursdaypress.com/ will post a video by the scheduled featured reader, Andrew Farkas. There will also be an “open mic” section of sorts. If you would like to share no more than five (5) minutes of your own creative work, please video yourself reading and upload it to a publicly accessible site like YouTube. Share the link with Jim O'Loughlin jim.oloughlin@uni.edu by Wednesday, March 25 to ensure that your contribution can become part of the event.
For tips on how to record yourself see this Webcam tutorial https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FMex-9FyljU. To view an interview with Andrew Farkas (conducted before the current situation) visit the Final Thursday Press website www.finalthursdaypress.com.
