Visit CWC-South at the
Riverside Dickens Festival, February 26-27

California Writers Club South will have a booth both days of the Riverside Dickens Festival, February 26-27, featuring books by Victorian authors, books about writing, a Dickens writing game, CWC handouts, a sign-up sheet, and information about joining the 113-year-old California Writers Club.

Imagine a Renaissance Festival but Victorian, with live performers, actors portraying Victorian-era authors in monologues and debates, and vendors selling Victorian-era clothing in case guests feel inspired to dress up. There is also traditional food from across the pond, including fish and chips, meat pies, scones, Welsh cakes, Scotch eggs and of course tea. Look for details at dickensfest.com.
