Please Note: The location of this event has changed due to weather. Big Night will now take place at King Middle School’s cafetorium, located at 92 Deering Avenue in Portland, Maine.
We’re excited to honor all the students who have been published with The Telling Room this year at Big Night as we launch our newest annual anthology, This Moment and the Next. This celebration of young authors published by The Telling Room from 2023 - 2024 will include a book fair with sales and signings, author readings from This Moment and the Next, and award announcements. We invite you to join us at this fun, free event, and join us in congratulating our authors!
The event is open to the public at 5:00PM and student performances will start at 5:30PM. Light snacks and refreshments provided.
Preorder our annual anthology and stock up on our other recent titles. Pick up books at Big Night on June 14th or have them shipped to you at home for your convenience.
