Free Great Lakes Writers Festival Brings Events to Plymouth and Sheboygan Nov. 5–6
The free, public Great Lakes Writers Festival is scheduled for Thursday and Friday, Nov. 5–6, with events at Lakeland University in Plymouth and a Thursday evening reading and open mic at Jake’s in Sheboygan.
Novelist June Gervais and poet Chelsea Whitton are the featured writers. The two-day schedule includes readings, book signings, interactive master classes and a book fair. Attendees can choose individual events rather than attend the full festival.

Friday’s Lakeland schedule includes a 10 a.m. reading and Q&A, a book fair from 11:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m., and a 1–2 p.m. master class for high school students and chaperones. A second master class is listed from 2:30 to 4:30 p.m.
