Help Us Make These Shows Accessible

Thanks to our generous supporters, we are able to present the majority of our online shows free of charge (while still paying the authors and hosts). If you enjoy tonight’s experience and want to help connect audiences of all ages to the world’s best authors, please consider donating to our Legacy Fund. The ticket price would have been $15, and the Wordfester team cheers whenever a donation is made.
