Mission

Our sustainable festival offers accessible year-round programming and opportunities in order to foster a love of words, books, and stories; to develop aspiring writers of all ages and communities, especially those historically underserved, and to inspire people of all communities to read, learn, and create.

Vision

AfterWords Literary Festival envisions an equitable society where citizens are equipped with the tools and the passion to read, write, and tell stories, are empowered to consider other points of view, and where the work of artists is respected as a necessary pillar of democracy.
