Since Summer 2014, this festival has featured writers from New England and the tri-state area who share their work, inspiration, and ideas with our audience. Throughout the pandemic we have invited Kirstin Harmel, Spencer Quinn, Gail Tsukiyama, Kristy Harvey, and Bill Hayes virtually into our living rooms! Previous summers have included the talents of Ann Leary, Matthew Dicks, Kristan Higgins, James Frey, Adriana Trigiani, and Andrew Gross, Archer Mayor, and many more.

Summer 2022 featured Marilyn Simon Rothstein, Kristan Higgins, B.A. Shapiro, Kate White, Andrea Bartz, and Joanna Schauffhausen! Elinor Lipman kicked off 2023 for us, visiting the same week Ms. Demeanor was selected as a B&N monthly pick.  We’re planning Summer 2023 right now….
