Within a 1-mile radius of downtown Missoula these local writers working in poetry and prose are also spending their days near mainstreet. They work for a distillery. A bookstore. A software company. A radio station. They run their own business. They work for each other. They pass each other on the street. During the book festival they will all be in one place at the same time to share their latest work and celebrate what it means to be part of the Missoula writing community.
