Lead a Workshop

Professionals in the literary community with teaching experience are invited to submit proposals to lead writing workshops for adults or children, in-person, at the 2024 Festival. Selected workshop leaders are paid a small stipend – OR provided with a complimentary exhibitor booth at the festival.

Each year, the Festival sponsors fun and informative writing workshops for adults, teens and children. In years past, offerings have ranged from poetry and building suspense in a mystery to college essay tips and comic book basics. Workshops are free to our attendees and led by professionals from around the region.

Consideration of workshop proposals by the Workshop Selection Committee is based on a variety of factors, including teaching experience, topic appeal, and ensuring a variety of offerings. Proposed workshops should be 30 to 60 minutes long and specific in scope and target audience age range. To submit a proposal for consideration, please submit the Gaithersburg Book Festival Workshop Proposal Application.
