For those not familiar with the Winter Writing Festival, Main Street Ravenna will host a number of workshops, a writing contest award session for our Ravenna students and the Keynote David Dix Speaker.

Our workshops cover topics such as poetry, graphic novels, how to write mysteries, children's books, and more!  We are holding workshops in downtown businesses and buildings to bring people into the stores and to walk downtown.
Featured workshops to be announced shortly!

This year our David Dix Keynote Speaker is Amanda Flower!
