FESTIVAL CLOSING EVENT: A CELEBRATION OF WRITERS

Our 2023 closing event celebrates Tennessee’s birthday and up-and-coming writers. We’ll hear from our contest winners and premiere the staged reading of the winning one-act play, directed by David Hoover. We’ll also celebrate some of our local community writing groups who support and promote emerging writers by hosting writing marathons, readings, submission happy hours, and free writing workshops. They’ll share some of their work and offer their best words of encouragement to writers. Plus, birthday cake for Tennessee!
