About
Assembly Press is excited to present a special pop-up version of Picton's popular PEP Rally reading series, featuring poetry and prose for one time only! The PEP Rally format includes featured readers (TBA) and an open mic, where audience members are encouraged to sign up to share a short reading of their own work or a piece they love that was written by someone else. Adults and kids welcome! Pre-registration is not required.
Organizer
Assembly Press
Established in 2023, Assembly Press is a fiercely independent publisher of fiction, nonfiction, and poetry that is notable for engaging with contemporary issues with thoughtfulness, incisiveness, and passion in equal measure. In 2025, we merged operations with Brick Books, and our combined team now works across both imprints.
