About this Event

This year’s theme of "Thrill Me" invites presenter to explore (and offer prompts for) writing that offers a visceral thrill to the reader—from the classic thriller to horror to experimental poetry and beyond. Presentations will include introductions to screenwriting principles, the sensory immersion of Creative Nonfiction Essays, and the influence of music and jazz in contemporary poetry of the South.

We are excited to welcome Keynote Presenter Julie Clark as well as our headlining artists: Ken Brosky, Yolanda Franklin, and John Price,.

Doors open at 11:45 in Bldg 23

RECEPTION & Readings to Follow from 6-9:30 in Bldg 21 (The Mule Barn)


Detailed Schedule to come!
