A Year of Festivals!
In the 1940s and 1950s, St. Louis Writers Guild had a proud tradition of holding writers’ conferences. In honor of those great events, SLWG will host a writers’ festival in Kirkwood Park. Workshops throughout the day will include a variety of genres, editing and querying agents, a workshop for children, a booth to sell member’s books, and plenty of food for all to enjoy.
A grand dinner gala culminating the end of the 90th anniversary festivities will be an homage to the events that were the core of the SLWG monthly meetings back in the 1930s.
SLWG will host a few very special, Special Guest Speaker Workshops this year. We can’t start dropping names just yet, so check back for more details.

October 2010
