This event was amazing! I will definitely reserve all of the dates next year. We were only able to attend the workshops this year - and they were completely wonderful. Thank you for bringing this event to life!

My wife and I attended the Literature and Lattes event at the Denny Sanford Convention Center to support our friends who were involved. While we initially expected to stay for only an hour, we were thoroughly impressed by the entire program. We enjoyed the opportunity to speak directly with the authors: learning about their inspirations, themes, and styles kept us engaged for several hours. We even purchased several sets of books to enjoy at home. Additionally, the catering was excellent and provided a great space to rest and connect with other attendees. We are already looking forward to the next event.
