“Writers In Residence” Program at The Eaux Claires Festival

Note from Mike: I enjoyed doing this voiceover for the promo reel announcing the “Writers in Residence” program at the upcoming Eau Claires festival. Details and video below.

This year’s Eaux Claires Festival features an inaugural “Writers In Residence” program, bringing a range of literary figures (from DC/Marvel comics illustrators to National Book Award finalists to Wisconsin’s poet laureate) to Eau Claire, Wisconsin for readings, discussions, and exclusive collaborations alongside the festival’s music acts throughout the weekend.

The festival takes place on July 24–25, 2026 at Carson Park (100 Carson Park Dr, Eau Claire, WI 54703).
