Welcome to 2020, friends! We’re going to spend the year investigating genre, and we hope you’ll join us.

Get your pens and pencils ready for an exciting year…

Bluff & Vine Issue Two Party!
Last night we held a reception for Issue Two of Bluff & Vine (Keuka Lake’s one and only literary magazine!) at the Arc of Yates. Authors mingled with members of the public, who came out to support the local literary community. And we are thrilled to announce that at last night’s event, Keuka Writes donated $1,000 in proceeds to our artistic partners at SkylArc Studio at the Arc. We couldn’t build Bluff & Vine without them! Check out pictures of the event here.
