Stone Valley Arts Literary Festival — A Celebration of the Written Word! Stone Valley Arts' Lit Fest writing workshops (Poetry, Fiction, Playwriting) are carefully crafted by professional facilitators to benefit writers in all genres and with all levels of experience. If you write, or have the desire to write, now is the time to explore the possibility! These generative workshops in several genres are suitable for writers of all levels. We encourage writers to cross genres and participate in all workshops because the basic concepts of description, narration, dialogue, character, plot, exposition, inspiration, elaboration, revision, and so much more are the basic tools and common challenges for all types of writing from journals to novels.
