WELCOME TO A FESTIVAL THAT CELEBRATES THE LITERARY ARTS

Throughout the year, in the Wisconsin River Valley near Spring Green, nationally renowned authors and poets meet with area wide lovers of books and writing to explore the importance of the literary arts to human understanding. In settings designed for inspiration, readers gather to listen to a writer's interpretation of the human experience and to discover the fine art of writing. 

Spring Green Literary Festival Broadens Offerings

First in the series:  An Evening With David Rhodes - 

In an effort to broaden and diversify its audience, the Spring Green Literary Festival is changing from one event held annually in the fall to a series of mini events throughout the year.  To kick off its 13th season and the first in the series, the Spring Green Literary Festival presents An Evening with David Rhodes, author of Driftless, a novel published in 2008.  The author’s reading will be Saturday, March 6 from 7:00-9:00 p.m. at the Touchstone Theatre, the indoor venue of American Player’s Theatre.  Rhodes is a Wisconsin writer and was named in January as one of fifty most inspiring authors in the world by Poets&Writers Magazine.  The evening will include a book signing by the author, the sale of his novels, and refreshments in the lobby before and after the program. Free tickets will be available at the Spring Green General Store, Nina's Variety, and 43/90 North Earth in Spring Green.  

Two more mini events are planned for 2010--one for the summer and one in the fall, authors to be announced at a later date.  In addition, the Spring Green Literary Festival will sponsor a Community Read. Between now and early fall, community leaders and residents will be asked to nominate a book and author for all area residents to read.  The book will be selected and announced in early September of 2010.  Free copies will be provided to senior centers and food pantries.  The author will then be invited to Spring Green to read and lecture in early January/February, 2011.  To send your nomination, email info@springgreenlitfest.org.
