Details

The Capital Love Lit Fest is the kick-off event for Washington Writers’ Publishing House’s Summer of Love Tour!

Join us for a marathon literary salon of writing workshops, deep-dive literary discussions, and poetry and prose readings from the new WWPH pocket-sized anthology, Capital Love, at the Writer’s Center of Bethesda on Sunday, June 28th. The Capital Love Lit Fest and our anthology are dedicated to all those who believe love is the antidote to hate and that love is action, intent, healing, and hope. This event is designed to inspire and generate your writing, deepen your craft, introduce you to the Washington Writers’ Publishing House community, and to raise up our collective voices in literary solidarity.

 

WHEN:          Sunday, June 28th. Doors open at 10 am. The event ends at 6 pm.

WHERE:        The Writer’s Center of Bethesda

COST:             Pay-as-you-can.  Free, if that works for you!

Travel notes:  Parking on Sunday is free directly across from the Writer’s Center. The Bethesda Metro stop is also within walking distance.

We do ask you to RSVP at the Writer’s Center here. RSVPS will be checked at the door. Attendance will be limited to 120 people, which is the capacity for the theater at the Writer’s Center, so reserve your seat now.

 

All monies from this pay-as-you-can donation will be shared between your WWPH and the Writer’s Center of Bethesda, two nonprofit literary organizations dedicated to supporting the DMV literary community.

The Capital Love LitFest is made possible by generous grants from the Maryland State Arts Council and the DC Commission on the Arts & Humanities.
