Belmont, MA: Spell-O-Rama

  • Trinktisch 87 Leaonard Street Belmont, MA (map)

May I have the definition, please? 

A friendly IN-PERSON competition among local writers*,  hosted by Celeste Ng, in recognition of Banned Books Week and the freedom to read.

May I have the origin, please?

This event comes from the literary social media start-up A Mighty Blaze and the Blaze Writers Project. 

Can you please use the word in a sentence? 

On Wednesday, October 4th, 2023, from 6PM - 9PM, local writers and word nerds will gather at Trinktisch in Belmont, MA to meet new friends, catch up with old ones, eat and drink delicious things, and spell increasingly difficult words in teams of six, while their Spell-o-Rama ticket fees are donated to the Florida Freedom to Read Project in honor of Banned Book Week.

Are there any alternate pronunciations? 

No. Just come and have fun! 

Note: Tickets required; all proceeds benefit the Florida Freedom to Read Project. See https://www.blazewritersproject.com/spellorama for more details! Belmont Books will be selling books on site.
