ONE FULL WIT

One Full Wit is a new reading series in Cleveland, OH, held at Visible Voice Books in Tremont. The series aims to spotlight the diversity of writers all over Northeastern Ohio. To that end, we intend on finding the vast majority of our readers through our calls for submissions.

One Full Wit is created and run by Amanda Krupman and Tishon Woolcock, a couple of half-wits who relocated from Brooklyn, NY, to Lakewood, OH, in late 2021. Amanda was raised on the west side of Cleveland and is returning to her hometown after 20 years in Chicago and New York. Tishon, born in Jamaica and raised in East Orange and Bloomfield, New Jersey, is new to the Cleveland area.
