Paging Columbus
ABOUT
Paging Columbus is a reading series based in Columbus, Ohio at the cultural hub Two Dollar Radio HQ. Poet and essayist Hannah Stephenson created Paging Columbus in 2011 out of a love for this city’s creative community and a desire to connect and showcase its brilliant writers. The bimonthly series features all genres of local and out-of-town writers and artists, with each event hosting about 4-5 readers / performers. Check out our event list below. Paging Columbus is now curated by Negesti Kaudo, Barbara Fant, Anisa Gandevivala, and Paige Webb.
If you are a writer / artist in Columbus, or one passing through, please contact paigewbb[at]gmail.com. We love to feature emerging and established voices.
You can also find us on Facebook.
