The JaxbyJax Literary Arts Festival VI will be held on Saturday, November 16, 2019.

One of our goals this year is to encourage Jacksonville writers who have not yet taken part in this annual celebration of “Jacksonville writers writing Jacksonville” to participate. To that end, UNF, FSCJ and JaxbyJax will team up to host a monthly writing workshop at various locations around the city so that both student and non-student writers from the Jacksonville community can find out more about the festival, and also polish their writing through gentle critiques of their work.

The next workshop will be held on Monday, May 6th from 6 – 9 PM in the Communications Department Conference Room on the second floor of the Andrew Robinson Building #14-D at the University of North Florida.

Please bring 20 copies of your poem or short prose piece. You’ll get to hear your work read aloud by another writer, and then receive spoken feedback and written suggestions to take home.

JaxbyJax Writing Workshops are free, and open to the public (high school and older, please.) Participation in the workshop does not guarantee acceptance into the juried literary festival.
