What is Winter Wheat? We're glad you asked!
Friday and Saturday are filled with more craft-oriented sessions. There are sessions like "Reinventing the Sonnet" or "Beginning Nonfiction" or "The Found Fiction." Friday's sessions begin in the afternoon and are followed by a reading by one of our featured readers. .
Saturday is the big day. There is a bookfair, filled with literary journals, as well as a table for presenters to sell their books. The sessions (four time slots) run all day. Click here to view the session listings for Winter Wheat 2011. There is a reading in the afternoon by one of the featured readers, followed by the annual Open Mic, which is always a lot of fun.
