“We write to taste life twice, in the moment and in retrospection… to record the journey … to expand our world…” – Anaïs Nin

May 8-10, 2025, join us at The Community Library for three days of writing, reading, and connecting over words.

This free annual event features writing workshops with esteemed Idaho writers, an opening keynote from a guest author, and a closing storytelling event where writers of all levels are invited to share their work. Come explore new methods, strengthen your writing, and connect with others. Writing workshops are limited in size but open to all levels.

Opening keynote this year is with author Anna-Marie McLemore, a William C. Morris Debut Award Finalist and National Book Award longlist honoree. Writing workshops with CMarie Fuhrman, Sam Berman, Christian Winn, Erin Rose, and Sarah Sentilles. The seminar includes a panel discussion with the five instructors and a closing open-mic event. Individual registration is required for workshops and the keynote talk, but all other events are open to all.

Presented in partnership with Boise-based Story Forward.
