“The Waterbear Reading Series is a summer reading series in Arlington, VA, held monthly. Our aim is to help cultivate the literary community in Northern Virginia. Established, emerging and student writers share the same stage at the Waterbear and, with some exceptions, we seek to bring together and showcase local writers. We aim to create connections, foster a supportive literary community and to engage Northern Virginia into the greater culture of the Mid-Atlantic’s literary scene. We are hosted by the kind folks at One More Page Books.”
