“If I rest, I rust.” This maxim is true for all of us, writers included!
Key to the Pennsylvania Literary
Festival’s mission of educating and informing the public is providing
growth opportunities for writers of all skill levels. Our workshops are
offered in a small classroom setting, conducive to interaction. With
this idea in mind, the seating capacity for each workshop is 22 people.
Registration is first-come, first-served, and should be completed
online.
Not a writer? Not a problem, workshops are open to the public and free of charge.
