Panels
Panels from the 2014 festival included: "My First Time: Writers Talk about their First Publication," "Writing Across the Spectrum: What Writers of Different Genres can Learn from Each Other," "Political Writing: Writing Politics" and "Biting into the Big Apple: How to Survive and Maybe Even Thrive as a Writer in New York City."
Readings
By tradition, the festival begins at Buffalo Street Books with a series of micro readings. Readings over the next two days took place at Ithaca's Handwerker Gallery. These gave the authors a longer chance to show off their work.
Staged Play
In this inaugural event, Professor Claire Gleitman of IC College and the IC On the Verge team performed a staged reading of playwright Amy Herzog's After the Revolution.
