The English Inquisitor Podcast – Episode 4
Reading and writing are very solitary activities. However, there are festivals, events, and occasions out there where you can connect with others in the literary world.
This past weekend, I went to the Wordstock Festival here in Portland. I had an absolutely amazing time! The festival is huge! There were over 100 exhibitors, 9 stages, and 185 professional writers.
