This festival,  a tradition since Summer 2014, 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 Liv Constantine, Ann Leary, Matthew Dicks, Kristan Higgins, James Frey, Adriana Trigiani, Archer Mayor, Marilyn Simon Rothstein, B.A. Shapiro, and Andrea Bartz.

Summer 2023 featured Kristan Higgins, Colleen Cambridge, Kate White, Joanna Schauffhausen, Wendy Walker, Marie Bostwick, Karen White, John Banks, Tracey Wood, Lynn Constantine, Allison Montclair, and two sessions of local author open houses! Join us for these fall and winter events in late 2023 while we’re busy planning the 10th anniversary of our Local Author Festival in summer 2024!
