Literally Salem: The Salem Literature Festival

Salem has all sorts of thriving scenes that the average tourista would never find if s/he wasn’t looking for it.  Take for instance our local wordsmiths.  We have done articles in the past about Author lectures and events pertaining to improving your writing.  Recently Cornerstone Books hosted an Editor speed date.  Writers are alive and well in Salem and throwing a bit of a shindig this coming weekend.

The Salem Literature Festival

From March 27th through March 29, Salem, Massachusetts will take the weekend to celebrate the literary arts with author readings, writing workshops, open mics, word-game tournaments, parties, and more.

Events are being held all over town including: Hamilton Hall, the Salem Athenaeum, Cornerstone Books, Front Street Cafe, The Old Town Hall and an handful of other places. You can meet authors, learn how to hone your skills, see plays, read, write or listen to poetry, attend a tribute, play Scrabble, even make your own paper.

One of the best parts of this lit-fest is that most of the events are free.  Hopefully my writing will improve a bit so you will keep reading this site faithfully
