Heidi Creates will present the second annual Read It Write It Book and Writing Festival on Saturday, Feb. 25, from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m., at the Mall at Wellington Green. The day-long event will transform the Wellington-based mall into a literary haven where local authors, poets, up-and-coming scribes and kindred spirits of all ages will celebrate the art of the written word.
The free, family-friendly book festival will feature book and poetry readings, open mics, children’s activities, as well as writing panels and pop-up workshops dedicated to literary genres like nonfiction, self-help, cartoons, short stories, blogging and more. The public will also have a chance to meet and mingle with local authors, poets and publishers, who will share trade secrets, answer writing-related questions, and help pave the way to getting published.
Make great literature come alive by dressing up as your favorite book character for the Literary Costume Contest. Prizes will be awarded for first and second place.
