Dear Friends of the F. Scott Fitzgerald Literary Festival,

Another hard year is behind us, but I hope you are managing well and enjoying the New Year.

The Planning Committee for the F. Scott Fitzgerald Literary Festival has been working hard over the winter and early spring to finalize all of our events for 2022. As we previously announced, our Honoree for 2022 will be Richard Powers, author of numerous novels including The Overstory and Bewilderment. Additionally, Kim Stanley Robinson will be our Special Guest, and Alice McDermott will give the Keynote address. The Festival, to be held on October 15, 2022, will be live! Our venue will be the Rockville Unitarian Universalist Congregation.

Although it is the premier event, the October Festival is not the only event on the calendar. On May 17th, we will hold our Annual Meeting at 5:30pm followed by a presentation by Martina Mastandrea. Ms. Mastandrea will speak on F. Scott Fitzgerald's works as portrayed in silent film including her exciting discovery of the first film ever adapted from a work by Fitzgerald. This event will be virtual, and a link to join will be on our website shortly. We hope that you can join us.

We are also now accepting entries for our annual Short Story Contest. We have both student and adult categories - please see the website for details and to enter the contest. Entries must be received by July 1, 2020. Monetary prizes are awarded to the winners.

To those of you who have already renewed your membership for 2022, thank you again. For those you would like to join and support the Festival, you can Join Here. We rely on our members and sponsors to provide financial support for the various events we hold. We could not do it without you!

Our website is updated regularly, so please check us out at www.fscottfestival.org/
