The San Diego Writers Festival is a free, community-based event designed to celebrate the power of writing and storytelling. Stories transform both the teller and the listener. In whatever form you welcome a story into your life—by reading a memoir or graphic novel, listening to a podcast or a poetry reading, watching a movie or play or going to the theater—stories are our pathways, our links, our bridges to one another. At the San Diego Writers Festival, we ask two important questions: What if there was a place where all stories could be nurtured and heard? What if we opened up our community to stories from those who have been under-served, disenfranchised, or neglected? We invite you to join us on our mission to hear one another, be educated and illuminated by one another, and inspired by one another—one story at a time.
