The Women's Literary Festival Committee and the Festival’s generous sponsors are pleased to present this unique day devoted to all readers who want to learn more about women who write and the stories they tell.

The Festival showcases women writers, both those who are already well-known and those who may be less well-known but equally deserving of serious attention. The Festival also celebrates readers and is dedicated to promoting literacy, diversity and social justice.

We have worked diligently to create a Festival that will expand your understanding and appreciation of the writing process as you enjoy the presentations given by our distinguished group of women authors and the opportunity to interact with the authors and other readers. We appreciate your attendance and encourage your feedback about ways we might enhance the Festival.

A special feature of the Festival is the opportunity to purchase the books discussed by our participating authors. Authors will be available to sign your books at various times throughout the day.
