Literary Festival feat. Anita Shreve early registration discount extended

May 31st, 2012

We’re extending our early registration offer for the inaugural Star Island Literary Festival. Register by June 16 and qualify for a $200 discount!

The Star Island Literary Festival welcomes you to participate in this inaugural event celebrating authors and the art of writing. In our first year, we will focus on the concept of islands in literature with Anita Shreve, author of The Weight of Water and other bestselling novels; Katherine Towler, author of the Snow Island trilogy; and Corwin Ericson, author of Swell.

With over 100 years experience hosting enriching programming and theme weeks, Star Island provides a unique, historic setting for this literary festival. As an inspiration to poets and novelists, including Celia Thaxter and Nathaniel Hawthorne, the Isles of Shoals will inspire all festival participants. Join us as we embark on a new venture this year just off the coast of Portsmouth, New Hampshire.
