Back in the halcyon pre-pandemic days of February 2020 — only a year ago, but also a million years ago —Arapahoe Community College made the difficult decision to cancel its upcoming Writers Studio Literary Festival. Like most of the world, it pulled in the welcome mat, hunkered down, probably watched a lot of Netflix, learned how to order groceries, and finally tackled that stack of books it always meant to read. But in 2021, it's back, baby. Arguably better and more accessible than ever. Since the early 2000s, the Writers Studio Literary Festival has been a single-day affair, hosting workshops and readings and all things good and bookish. In COVID times, the fest has not just gone online; it's also being stretched out over five days, March 9 to March 13, so that participants can effectively experience all the offerings available to them instead of having to choose one over the other.
