It’s not too late to attend the Stockholm Writers Festival -August 18-20.
Do you love to write? Have you stopped yourself from ever beginning or keep putting off what you are being called to do? Lean into your passion and take action. Make a promise to begin now. This event is a way to surround yourself with other writers who will inspire you, can help you, support you if you are not sure. It is about the journey as much as the work and the people that are part of that journey who can add more meaning to your life.
This festival began when Founder, Catherine Pettersson, began to wonder why she and other members of her writing group were traveling to other countries to meet like-minded writers when there was such a strong writing community in Stockholm – and in 2017, the festival was born.
