Hear from published authors, journalists, editors and others in the literary field about their writing journeys and best practices for how to discover (and publish!) your best writing. Writers of all styles are invited to participate!
Registration for sessions opens March 28 at 7 a.m.
Sessions will take place throughout the day on Saturday, and while you’re here we hope you’ll also take the time to connect with other fellow writers. Pearl’s Books will be onsite from 11 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. selling books written by the authors leading some of the workshops. The weekend will finish with an open mic event in which you can share some of your work or simply come support Northwest Arkansas’ writing community. Join us to learn, inspire, and be inspired.
