Winter Wheat: The Mid-American Review Festival of Writing was a huge success! Many, many thanks to all the attendees, presenters, and keynote readers who made this year’s Winter Wheat the biggest and best ever. From the opening reading on Thursday night to the sessions and reading on Friday to a packed Saturday full of workshops, readings, and a post-party at Grumpy Dave’s Pub, it was a dazzling event. Thanks for being there, and we’ll see you in 2015! In the meantime, here are just a few photos from the event:
