Call for Vendors
Works of Heart Marketplace

Stories from the Heart III is sponsored by Story Circle Network, a national, non-profit membership organization dedicated to helping women explore their lives by exploring their stories. The conference will bring together women from around the country to celebrate the stories of women's lives and discover different modes for sharing our stories: through personal essays, autobiographical fiction, poetry, drama, dance, music, art and more. The conference aims to encourage women to explore hidden or difficult chapters of our life stories; to expand our relationships with women of diverse cultures and communities; and to return to our communities and share our discoveries with others.

This year, we welcome vendors (including small publishers) who would like to sell THEIR OWN books, paper products, print-related services, writing-related items, and hand-crafted items of interest to women. We will have a limited number of tables available in a reserved "shopping area". Vendor sales will be Saturday only. The application form (with deadline for applications and vendor selection), as well as vendor guidelines, can be found below.
