The festival is FREE and open to the public.

You are welcome to stay for all events or what your schedule allows.

You are welcome to bring a notebook and pen to write down any notes or if you feel inspired during the festival to create! Books from the visiting authors will be available for purchase at the festival along with festival T-shirts.

During our master class sessions with the visiting authors, they will teach you about their craft and may have you work on a few exercises. You are welcome to participate in the exercises and share or enjoy listening to others.

The high school master class is a unique opportunity for high school students and their chaperones to attend an intimate session with our authors.
