A limited number of Author Tables are available for “Meet the StoryMaker” from 10 am – 2 pm on Saturday, December 4, in the Highlander Room at the Eureka Springs Community Center, 44 Kings Highway, Eureka Springs. The free event is a wonderful opportunity to sell your books to those with literature lovers on their list during the holiday shopping season. More than fifteen local and visiting WCDH writers will be on hand to sign their adult, YA, and children’s books in a range of genres. Readings from participating writers will be held throughout the event. Signed books and dinner at the Writers’ Colony with WCDH writers will be raffled to benefit the WCDH scholarship fund. 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.
