About the Highland Park Literary Festival

The Highland Park Literary Festival began fifteen years ago as a collaboration between interested parents and the English Department of Highland Park High School in Dallas. Since 1996, HPHS students have enjoyed working with and learning from extraordinary writers, such as George Plimpton, Michael Chabon, Tim O'Brien, Russell Banks, Anchee Min, Billy Collins, and Tobias Wolff. We are delighted that distinguished HPHS alumni writers, including Doug Wright, author of Quills, I Am My Own Wife, and Grey Gardens, will return to campus in 2011 to help celebrate writing and the festival's 15th anniversary. Join us on February 17, 2011, for an evening with Doug Wright.
