Join us for our second Emerging Writers Showcase — a virtual reading to highlight the work of rising Armenian writers — on Saturday, October 8, 2022, at 10:00 Pacific | 13:00 Eastern | 21:00 Yerevan time, hosted by Shahé Mankerian, IALA’s Mentorship Program director.

The event will feature readings by the participants of this year’s Mentorship Program, and the winners of IALA’s 2022 Young Armenian Poets Awards. Mentors will introduce their mentees, and Alan Semerdjian, the director of the Young Armenian Poets Awards, will introduce the contest winners.
