Women’s History Month
Hobart Festival of Women Writers has, since 2013, brought together an array of writers of poetry, fiction, essay, and theater for a weekend celebrating the work of women writers.
THE PERSONAL NARRATIVE: Finding Beauty in Life-Changing Events Through Words
In the workshop, writers will detail an event through the five senses. Though certain events may feel traumatic only, they can offer opportunities for individual growth. This workshop will begin to open the creative mind for this growth.
A Tribute: Kamilah Aisha Moon

Expanding Ideas: Words into Poems and Artists Books with Bertha Rogers
Before poets could read and write, they spoke their poems, and they drew and carved on available surfaces. When the monks began copying holy texts, they weren’t satisfied with words only; they began illuminating the manuscripts with both sacred and profane drawings and paintings. William Blake was famous for his poems rich with watercolors. What we call “outsider art” frequently features words and images. – B. Rogers
HFWW presents Winter Workshops

Hobart Festival of Women Writers Virtual Flash Readings
In order to preserve our platform celebrating women authors, we created our first Virtual Flash Readings. Forty writers participated by recording themselves reading their work. The videos were combined into two seamless, beautiful videos by Jessica Vecchione of VECC Videography assisted by Amber Gray. These videos were aired via Zoom on Saturday, September 12th and 13th, 2020.
Announcing Festival 2020
We have poets, fiction writers, essayists, dramatists, and artists. Join us for this special weekend of readings, workshops, a public conversation and, of course, book sales.
