- Thursday: Dana Kramaroff will share her experience writing heavy content and the habits that help her keep going.
- Friday: As a children’s book illustrator, Holly Hatam will discuss her journey through diversity, emotions, and nature.
- Saturday: Carole Weatherford Boston will share the biography “How Do You Spell Unfair,” which tells the story of MacNolia Cox’s achievement of winning the National Spelling Bee in the face of racial discrimination.
