Writers and Readers discussion

The Artists and Authors Festival was a huge success, to which the number of those who attended and participated will attest.

38 artists (painters & photographers) and 26 authors participated. The artists' works were hung on the walls to be viewed and purchased. Each author was assigned a table, upon which to display their books and promotional items, and meet one-on-one with visitors. Each participant was allotted time to speak to the audience.

The following authors attended. (Perhaps you are familiar with some of their work.)
