About this Event
Session Summary: Every community has its storytellers—the ones who put local history, everyday struggles, personal triumphs, and big ideas into words that resonate. This Spark Conversation honors the writers living among us—those whose voices reflect the diversity, complexity, and beauty of Central Virginia.
Whether writing fiction or nonfiction, poetry or personal memoir, these local authors are capturing the spirit of our region while inspiring others to share their own stories.
We’ll explore how storytelling connects us, influences change, supports mental well-being, and even fuels local economies—from self-publishing and book tours to partnerships with schools, libraries, and small businesses.
Attendees will hear live readings, engage in open Q&A, and walk away with renewed appreciation for the voices shaping our cultural landscape.
This conversation is perfect for readers, aspiring writers, educators, creatives, and anyone who believes in the power of the written word to build community.
