Palouse Writers Festival Writing essays in high school and college was a dreaded assignment for most, but for others it was a chance to organize thoughts, expand on ideas and challenge your held beliefs. If writing brings a smile to your face and gets you a little bit excited, then I implore you to attend the Palouse Writers Festival. The fourth annual event celebrates local writers, authors, bookworms and word-lovers with a workshop and a couple of panel discussions. This year, attendees can expect workshops about crowdfunding and panel discussions about inclusion for deaf authors and young adult fiction. After a long day of learning, attend the festival’s annual Books & Brews event where you can meet authors in a festive, all-ages book fair environment with the brews provided by Moscow Brewing Company.
