Thirteen Burlington Writers Workshop authors and songwriters will entertain with short readings and live music from 1 to 3:30 PM on Sunday, December 8.

Since its founding in 2009, the Burlington Writers Workshop (BWW) has provided thousands of free writing workshop sessions to anyone in and around Vermont from aspiring writers to published pros. Among the more than 2,000 BWW members on Meetup, there are quite a few published authors and recorded songwriter/musicians. You can meet many of them and get a chance to buy a signed copy of a book or CD by your favorite Vermont author in their annual "Holiday Book & Cookie Fest." Eleven authors and two songwriters will provide entertainment in the form of short readings and live music throughout the afternoon. Several other BWW authors will have their titles available for purchase.
Over the past several years, the BWW has also published annual anthologies comprised of poetry, short stories, and non-fiction. These works appear in the Best of the Burlington Writers Workshop, Cold Lake Anthology and Mud Season Review--all of which will be for sale at special holiday pricing. This is a fundraiser as well as a means to spotlight writers and their work, but many of the writers are also bakers. So, a variety of home-baked cookies will be available for sale as single snacks or by the dozen.

The Holiday Book and Cookie Fest begins at 1 PM on Sunday, December 8 at the Fletcher Free Library in Burlington. You can find out more about the BWW and a calendar of the ongoing free, writers workshops in Burlington, Montpelier and Middlebury at: BurlingtonWritersWorkshop.com.
