September 21-22, Santa Fe Arts District, Denver, CO
Free Admission
The Word, A Storytelling Sanctuary is dedicated to shining a spotlight on storytelling from BIPOC, LGBTQIA2S+, disabled, and neurodiverse communities. Its annual Literary Conference is a safe space for all voices and helps to build community among Colorado's literary community.
"Our mission is storytelling for collective abundance. And what that really means is we're opening pathways for the richest, broadest range of voices to share stories because we know that is the pathway to the richest, broadest world we can live in," said Viniyanka Prasad, Co-Executive Director and Founder of The Word, A Storytelling Sanctuary.
The conference will feature writers who are National Book Award and Pulitizer Award finalists. A huge contingent of local writers will be taking part.
"We do three tracks. There is an opportunity for writing craft, the business of publishing, and then community building as well," said Chris Aguilar-Garcia, Programs Director for The Word, A Storytelling Sanctuary.
But there is also a film component, a fashion show, and open mic opportunities. This year the [margins] Literary Conference & Book Festival will be held in the Santa Fe Arts District, so there will also be an art component to it.
