I wish there were more festivals like this in the “real South Jersey.” All respect to Burlington, Williamstown, Collingswood, but these are really. “central Jersey.” South Jersey is Salem, Cumberland, Atlantic and Cape May. Wildwood used to have a nice little book and writing conference pre-Covid, but I don’t think they plan to revive it.
Did you know? You can start your own festival! Just reach out to your local library, and see if they’d be interested in partnering with you on it 🙂 Let us know when it is, and we’ll post it here!
