Authors

The White Squirrel Arts Festival is open to artists of all kinds, including writers. In fact, the festival’s first board chair is a published author! Writers are invited to set up tables on Saturday, April 25, 2026 to discuss and sell your works. If you are a poet, you may also want to sign up for our Poetry Slam.
