The Word On The Street has been renowned for the quality and diversity of its event programming and our 2025 festival promises to offer the best so far. Check out our schedule for Saturday, September 20, 2025!
Ditch the flighty New Year’s resolutions and craft realistic, manageable goals for your writing with us. In this fun and interactive workshop, we’ll address potential obstacles, set accountability partners, and brainstorm ways to infuse more joy and ease into your writing journey. Through vision boarding and other reflection activities, we’ll craft realistic objectives and strategies to ensure a more fulfilling and productive path ahead. Connect with fellow writers as you play with possibilities of your own writing and craft, and leave more energized and excited to write than ever!
