The Pilcrow lit Fest was an extraordinary experience. The festival was a true celebration of all things writing and community building. There were so many brilliant writers and authors, Ben Tanzer , Gail Konop-Baker , Jill Alexander Essbaum , Steve Himmer , Angela Gant , Elaine Soloway , Elizabeth Crane , Adam Deutsch , the list is endless, here it is . Publishers , publicists , Internet Marketing Gurus , Zines , Timothy Schaffert's Omaha Literary Festival, The Rebuilt Books Auction to support the NOLA Library rebuilding project , which raised $4,000. All hosted and curated by Amy Guth . Please read her detailed post about the entire weekend, it is most inspiring. I'm so proud of her and what she accomplished. Pilcrow's first year was one hell of a success! Two wonderful documentarians I had the privilege of meeting, run the site UnScene Chicago , Tiffany Tate and Sawyer Lahr, they are so lovely and fabulously talented. (Side note) Tiffany, bubbie, you couldn't make...
