The day long event will feature two award-winning authors and experts from UW-Madison. Authors will present mini lectures, engage in a roundtable discussion, and sign copies of their books for attendees. Lunch and refreshments will be provided.
The workshop theme is Folk and Fairytales, and we are excited to welcome two award-winning authors in person:

Each attendee will also receive a free copy of these books!
