Spend a Day with Denver’s Stalwarts and Rising Stars

ACC’s Writers Studio Literary Festival, which will be held on Saturday, April 13 from 8:30am to 4:00pm, brings you the best of Colorado, from upcoming stars and a Colorado Book Award winner to Colorado journalism stalwarts.

An annual tradition, the Festival offers the opportunity for community members and students alike to spend the day honing their craft and hob-knobbing with professionals. Attendees work with two authors, which you choose from a group of six, for two two-hour sessions:

• 8:30-9:15 am: Check-in
• 9:30-11:30 am: Morning session (Steven Dunn, Joseph Hutchison, Christopher Merkner)
• 11:30 am-12:45 pm: Reading and lunch
• 1:00-3:00 pm: Afternoon session (Hillary Leftwich and Deanna M. Rasch, Nancy Stohlman, Kevin Vaughn)
• 3:00-4:00 pm: Participant Open Mic

We understand this will be a difficult decision — and that’s how we wanted it to be!

Attendees can expect to learn, to write, to conversate. There will be a continental breakfast served, as well as a hot lunch. Guests will be enamored with the lunch-time reading and will also have the opportunity to share the work they produced at the end-of-the-day Open Mic from 3-4.
