The Rensselaerville Festival of Writers – to benefit the Rensselaerville Library – is a four-day celebration of literature which includes readings, book signings, writing workshops, discussions, exhibits, a book sale and a cocktail party with the authors.

This year’s line-up features: Lizz Winstead, Tim Cahill, Mary Morris, Howard Nelson, Galway Kinnell & Bill Logan – plus many others.

This morning to tell us about what we can expect from this festival brimming with great talent, we welcome the festival chair Lisa Jemison, festival organizer Marilyn Oliva and Claire North. 

The Festival of Writers takes place July 26th through July 29th.
