Dear Readers,

                                               I am so happy to have served on the Rancho Mirage Writers Festival (RMWF) for the past five years; it really is wonderful to be part of this
                                               community event.

                                               The goal for our RMWF program is to offer a rich and diverse reader experience. To that end, beginning in 2017, the Writers Festival
                                               Foundation has broadened the calendar of events to include standalone author programs, a film series and a book club. Our wish is for you
                                               to stay connected with the Writers Festival throughout the year by becoming familiar with the authors who are coming as well as get excited
                                               about them!
                                               These new programs are free and all are welcome to attend! No registration required. Come as often as you can!

                                               Following are some of the events that we are working on for 2018:
