The Eden Mills Writers’ Festival was founded in 1989 and has taken place annually since then. The Festival has expanded over the years becoming a nationally acclaimed and widely respected literary event that still maintains a small “footprint.”
Audiences of several thousand now come to the Festival each year from near and far to enjoy the unique mix of bucolic surroundings, great literature, and relaxed ambiance. In Leon Rooke’s words, Eden Mills is a place “where new writers are introduced to a large audience and established writers are newly engaged.”
In addition to readings, the Festival also features Publishers’ Way, where publishers, booksellers, magazine producers, and non-profit groups such as PEN showcase their wares. This is also where authors sign their books. Live music entertains between reading sets.
