The Writers' Festival is hosted by the literary journal Windhover at the University of Mary Hardin-Baylor in Belton, Texas. Traditionally, over 100 writers gather at this annual conference. The annual George Nixon Memorial Lecture typically features artists or writers who examine the connections between faith and poetry. Each year the festival attempts to have the keynote speakers also lead master classes and workshops. This arrangement benefits writers of all levels because they not only hear and see the expertise on display in the main event but also interact with the experts in the workshops. Our goal is to create a space where writers of all levels can find encouragement and learn to be better writers. If you are interested in reading at the festival, please see the call for papers for more details.
