This year’s conference theme is “Our Shared Story” and we are thrilled to host visiting writers Ross Gay (poet & essayist, Indiana University), Jan Beatty (poet & memoirist, Chatham University), Matt Forrest Esenwine (children’s author, New Hampshire), Bonnie Proudfoot (novelist & poet, Hocking College), & Mike Geither (Cleveland State University).

Seventy-three presenters from throughout the U.S. will present on many aspects of reading, understanding, writing, editing and publishing creative works. Please visit the Fall Literary Festival page as we continue to add details and information. The conference is an affordable $45, with deep discounts for contingent faculty and graduate students, and need-based sponsorships available. Undergraduate and high school student registration is free.

Hope to see you there! This event is made possible with major funding from the Centofanti Foundation.
