Here at Galliott Studios we have been getting excited for
the Writers Fest! The festival – officially named “Writers at Woody Point”
– takes place August of every year and is now into its 10th
year! During the week-long festival,
Galliott Studios hosts free intimate readings by several of the writers. Along with the Writers events held at the
shop, we try to keep the excitement going with other special events put on by
Galliott Studios and friends. To make our schedule a little easier to follow, we
have broken the events down day by day. All events are taking place at Galliott
Studios. For further information feel
free to call us at (709) 453-2142
