Works of Heart Marketplace Vendors

Stories from the Heart V 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.

We welcome vendors (including small publishers) who would like to sell books that they have written or published, paper products, print-related services, writing-related items, and hand-crafted items of interest to women.

If you'd like to apply for vendor space, go here.

Our vendor room will be open from noon-4pm & 5:30-7:30pm on Friday, February 5; 8:30am-12:30pm & 2-6pm on Saturday, February 6.
