We’re excited to introduce Appalachian WordFest, Rose Glen Literary Festival’s newest iteration. This one-day event celebrates the words and creativity emerging from our beloved Appalachian Mountains by bringing together authors, young poets, publishers, and book lovers. Look for new elements this year – like an expanded program with more opportunities to see your favorite presenters, small group round robins with authors, a live Poetry Slam competition, and podcasters sharing their words that tickle our ears.
