It will be a day of inspirational talks and workshops on craft and the writing life, led by regional authors and publishing professionals. There will be sessions on fiction, poetry and nonfiction and a panel on finding an outlet for publishing. Oregon’s Poet Laureate Ellen Waterston will give the morning keynote address.
