Write Action will be marching in the parade on June 7th, and invites all members and writers in the community to join in – in keeping with the weekend theme of “living green” and agriculture, we are suggesting participants represent in some way (even if just wearing a card with title) a fiction or nonfiction work that has agriculture, ecology, working the land, living with the land, as a central theme. The march lines up at the juncture of Flat and Elm streets and ends at the Common. It starts around 10 a.m. Be part of a great town event!
Write Action will also have a table at the Retreat grounds (after all a cow is our logo!). As part of our presence, we are inviting WA subscribers to donate a copy of a book or books you’ve published for a display and sale. Proceeds would go to Write Action if a book sells, but mostly it’s to show off what a vibrant writers’ community we have here.
Also, writers are invited to bring something to read…we’ll have a little platform to stand on, maybe a mic. You’ll have a big audience, ready-made. But lots of other competing distractions (depending on where we are asked to set up), so be prepared to shout and make a spectacle of yourself!
And lastly on Sunday of SOTH weekend, WA hosts the poetry/jazz “Cool-laboration” workshop and evening reading. Some scholarship help will be available. For all of the above, you may respond to this email, or call 254-9595.
