The keynote speaker for this year’s Ridgefield Writers Conference Open House is award-winner Hollis Seamon, author of the widely published and acclaimed young adult novel "Somebody Up There Hates You."

The open house also features readings and a Q & A with creative nonfiction author Sonya Huber, fiction author and writer Chris Belden, and essayist James M. Chesbro.
