Please note that due to the COVID-19 Lockdown, HighlandLIT events are not currently taking place. Watch this space for news of a resumption of meetings 'when this is all over.'

​

See below for news of HighlandLIT on-line, focussed on our newly-created Youtube Channel. 

 

There you'll find an on-line version of the event we had planned to hold in April and a collection of videos of HighlandLIT members reading their work.

The Committee are holding in mind all HighlandLIT members and friends at this time. Please take care - and keep in touch with one another and with us. As Committee members we are drawing support from each other in these days of isolation.  If you need  encouragement, or a chat on the phone, please do contact us at mailbox@highlandlit.com.

HighlandLIT on-line Open Mic event - June 16th at 6.30pm

​

Once again, HighlandLIT’s June event – an open mic on Tuesday 16th June at 6.30pm – will be live on-line, delivered using Zoom.

​

There will be eight five-minute slots available, so if you’d like to share a story, poem or other piece of writing you’ll need to move quickly to secure a slot!  First come, first served. But there’s no limit to the number of folk who can join the audience!

​

As with ‘physical’ open mics, there will be a charge of £3 to attend as a participant or a member of the audience. HighlandLIT members who are paid up for the current year (April 2020-March 2021) go FREE!

​

If you have not yet signed up for 2020-21 membership  - remember, rejoining GIVES YOU FREE ACCESS to all HghlandLIT events during the year whether on-line or physical!  Membership costs £25 (or £5 for those on low income.) You can sign up here!

​

 So if you wish to join in the open mic as participant or audience member there are two options:

If you are a paid-up member for the current year, just email highlandlit.com@gmail.com and we will send you a link to the event.  Just say if you’d like to read!

​

If you would like to attend on a pay-as-you-go basis pay by selecting ‘Open Mic’ in the online store  and again, we will send you a link to the event. Just say if you’d like to read!

​

We’d love to welcome you to what promises to be a great event on the 16th!  The Committee thank you for your support as we work to deliver HighlandLIT events in these challenging times.

In response to the evolving situation re COVID-19 and in an effort to create a different platform from which to promote the work of HighlandLIT members and supporters from the wider community,  Jayne has created a dedicated Vimeo account has been created.  (This replaces the YouTube account we were using until recently, and includes all the videos previously posted there.)

 

You can view the channel here. This is an opportunity to post video clips of recordings of work, links to websites and other social media and thereby reach a wider audience.

 

If this is something you would like to take advantage of then please email text/info to

this email address and forward larger files, (pref MP4 format) via wetransfer or similar.

 

Jayne will manage the account and upload files on your behalf. There is no limit to the number of videos which can be posted but please restrict the file size to around 5 to 10 minutes to minimise the time it takes to upload files.

 

It is our hope that this will create an opportunity to promote work during changing times.
