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.
The Palouse Writers Guild launched their first writer’s contest amid the COVID-19 pandemic last year.
Khaliela Wright, founder of the Palouse Writers Guild, had the goal of connecting different writers together who are from the Palouse.
There are two different categories for the contest, Wright said. The short story category is for unpublished writers and is open to a writer of any genre. Wright is responsible for first chapter submissions.
The first chapter category requires people to submit a single chapter of a story. Wright said this category is also open to any genre.
Mark Ready, president of the Idaho Writers League Palouse Chapter, is in charge of short story entries, he said. Ready will also provide feedback to novice writers. Originally, the Palouse Writers Guild wanted to work in conjunction with ArtFest, an interactive festival to celebrate the arts in Pullman.
