— from Jule Treneer for Orcas Island Lit Fest —

Where can book lovers go to rub shoulders with the likes of Timothy Egan, Nicola Griffith and Luis Alberto Urrea, and also take in a little jaw-dropping splendor while they’re at it?  If you’re a book lover, you owe it to yourself to make the trip at least once to the Orcas Island Lit Fest.

Now in its third year, the festival has just announced a star-studded lineup of featured artists, including best-selling memoirist Claire Dederer, Pulitzer-prize winner Timothy Egan, two-time Washington State Book Award winner Nicola Griffith, international best-selling author Arthur Phillips and best-selling award-winning author Luis Alberto Urrea.
