A screenplay or stage play can be part of the conversation, but the invitation also names novels, short stories, poetry and nonfiction. Writers may read aloud for feedback, or come without a submission and listen.
Sharing work is optional
The meetup is built around writers reading from a project and receiving immediate feedback. Its listing also invites authors, screenwriters and filmmakers to talk about obstacles in their work, so the gathering includes discussion beyond the pages being read.
There is no requirement to bring a piece: listening is explicitly an option. That makes the event suitable for someone who wants to hear how the critique works before deciding whether to share.

Choose a passage with the time in mind
The listing’s target is about 2,000 words or 10 screenplay pages or fewer. Longer projects may be possible depending on how many submissions there are, so a concise excerpt is the clearest choice for anyone hoping to read.

The upload instructions distinguish format
For screenplay or stage-play work, the listing points to ScriptCamp’s feedback form and says to select “NYC Table Reads.” For novels, short stories or poetry, it directs writers to WordCamp’s feedback form and the “NYC Live Readings” option.
Nonfiction is welcome to bring to the meetup, but the listed upload instructions do not name a separate nonfiction category. The event description does not say that uploading is required to attend.
