The new Raymond Carver and Tess Gallagher Creative Writing Festival will be held April 25-27 at various locations in Port Angeles.

Keynote readers include Billy Collins, TC Boyle and Tess Gallagher. Selected Shorts from Symphony Space in New York and National Public Radio will bring actors Dion Graham (“The Wire”), Zach Grenier (“Devs”) and Kirsten Vangsness (“Criminal Mind”s) to deliver a performance of work by Carver, Gallagher, Collins and Boyle.

The festival will run from 9 a.m.-9 p.m. Thursday through Saturday, with 16 events — including readings, book signings, a film screening, writing panels, poetry at Carver’s grave, writing workshops, a free performance by dancers and actors from the Suitcase Players and more.

Those seeking to sharpen their writing skills can register for a workshop in poetry, fiction or nonfiction with authors Jonathan Evison, Tim McNulty, Alice Derry, Holly Hughes, Lawrence Matsuda, Gary Copeland Lilley, CMarie Fuhrman, Anna Quinn, Charlotte Gould Warren, Kate Reavey or Lisa C. Taylor.

All-access festival passes are available on Eventbrite. Individual tickets for keynote readings, including Tess Gallagher, Billy Collins, TC Boyle, and Selected Shorts are available for purchase at Field Arts & Events Hall, 201 W. Front St.
