Writers Mark the Date

Writers In The Park
The 3rd annual writers festival  

Saturday, August 25, 2012

10am - 2pm

at Kirkwood Park

Free and open to all writers!

Two years ago, in celebration of its 90^th Anniversary St. Louis Writers Guild created a festival - Writers in the Park. A free mini-conference that is open to all writers. There will be multiple breakout sessions each hour for adults, plus books for sale and great food. It's a festival to celebrate writing. This year St. Louis Writers Guild has brought together many of this city's literary organizations as well as great authors to provide workshops covering a wide variety of topics for writers of every level. The day begins at 9:30am for announcements at Lions Amphitheater in Kirkwood Park and the program starting at 10:00am.

This year Writers in the Park has expanded to include writing workshops for kids in grades 4^th - 8^th. There will before four hours of workshops for kids, starting at 10am and ending at 2pm. Participants may show up at anytime during the festival.

There will be indoor facilities if it is raining or if temperatures remain in the triple digits, so the day will go on, regardless of the weather!

No pre-registration required.
