The Re:Verse Literary Conference & Festival provides a platform for literature-based creative thinking and knowledge sharing. Each year we invite educators, community and arts organizations, and artists to participate. Re:Verse is presented by The Literary Freedom Project, a 501(c)3 tax-exempt not-for-profit arts organization that supports the literary arts through education, creative thinking, and new media.

The Re:Verse Literary Conference & Festival invites proposals for workshops focused on the literary arts, literacy, and reading comprehension, and how educators can incorporate these subjects to increase the adoption of reading as a tool for understanding of culture, history, and social studies.

Deadline is September 17, 2008. Email proposals to Felicia Pride. felicia@thebacklist.net
