MIGHT DELETE LATER V, Thurs., 7/9, 7:00 p.m., Remnant Brewing, 2 Bow Street, Somerville. MIGHT DELETE LATER is a reading series for works-in-progress for writers of all interests, genres, backgrounds, ambitions, and points in their career. The idea is to give writers a deadline to share a current writing project in a low-stakes, supportive environment. Readings are short so no one feels held hostage. Also: completely FREE.
