How does a writing festival work?
Before the festival, students submit their writing to be critiqued. On the day of the festival, students will listen to a guest speaker, and participate in workshops in which their writing will be discussed. There will be an awards ceremony at the end of the day.
PageBreak Literary Festival is brought to you by Stevenson's The Wit, and Write Club!
