This year’s San Diego Writers Festival has more performances and experiential events than ever! You’ll find inspiration at every turn, from electrifying performances to interactive workshops. The opening ceremony kicks off with festival favorites—an exhilarating Naruwan Taiko drum performance and powerful spoken word from Gill Sotu, SDWF Poet-in-Residence.
Feel the harmony of a Voices of Our City Choir performance, then tap into HypoBreathwork with Francesca Sipma. Take the mic or listen in at the San Diego Poetry Annual Open Mic, or let words and music move you in the quad, where poetry, prose, and a live DJ set the vibe.
Film and TV lovers won’t want to miss a special screening of Netflix’s #1 show, The Night Agent, followed by an exclusive talkback with author Matthew Quirk. Challenge your creativity with Promptapalooza, led by Kristen Fogle, and dive into the art of memoir as The International Memoir Writers Association presents readings from What Just Happened?, the latest volume in their Shaking the Tree anthology series.
