Announcing 3rd Annual Southeast Wisconsin Festival of Books!
The Southeast Wisconsin Festival of Books will return to the University of Wisconsin-Waukesha campus on June 15-16, 2012. With it will come more exciting programming for readers of all ages.
We are hard at work building our schedule of events for the 2012 Festival. Please check back frequently for updates on our program and profiles of authors who will be visiting with us in June.
2012 Century Fence Middle School & High School Student Essay Contest
Hosted and administered by the Festival, this contest is open to current middle and high school students in Waukesha County.
The Century Fence Middle School & High School Student Essay Contest recognizes the important relationship between reading and writing and seeks to reinforce that relationship by challenging students to continue developing their own writing and critical thinking skills as they discover themes and elements in literature.
The Festival is pleased to be welcoming back Mystery Writers of America as a 2012 program partner. Mystery Writers of America is the premier organization for mystery writers, professionals allied to the crime writing field, aspiring crime writers, and those who are devoted to the genre.
