The Writers’ Colony at Dairy Hollow (WCDH) will host “Meet the StoryMaker” in the Highlander Room at the Eureka Springs Community Center. The free event will be an opportunity for the public to purchase adult, YA, and children’s books in a range of genres directly from the authors. More than fifteen local and visiting WCDH writers will be on hand to sign their books, and readings from participating writers will be held throughout the event. Come get your holiday shopping done for all the literature lovers on your list. Signed books and dinner at the Writers’ Colony with WCDH writers will be raffled to benefit the WCDH scholarship fund. The drawing will occur at 2:00 pm on December 4. The winner does not need to be present. Gift wrapping will be available free of charge (donations appreciated) throughout the event. COVID precautions will be enforced, including social distancing and the use of masks. WCDH Executive Director, Michelle Hannon, said, “I was inspired by Meet the Maker holiday events, which allow the public to purchase art directly from artists. I wanted to offer something similar, but with WCDH and local writers. We’re thrilled to offer this opportunity for the public to meet writers of a broad range of genres and hear them read their work. Giving a book signed by the author with a personalized message is such a thoughtful gift. Buying a book directly from the writer that created it, saw it through from a glimmer of an idea to a published work, is a purchase one can feel good about.”
