Cleveland Drafts is an annual literary festival featuring writers from across Northeast Ohio working in fiction, poetry, nonfiction and playwriting at every stage of their careers. This year’s festival will be held in the Larchmere neighborhood.

As writers, we at Cleveland Drafts know that the opportunity to perform new written work is also an occasion to develop writing that has been living in a drawer or to write something entirely new. By highlighting drafts, or works-in-progress that have not yet been published, we encourage the creation and development of literary works from voices in our area who face different challenges to their practice at each new stage of their career.
