August Residency Schedule

The schedule for the August residency is available at the program web page--http://www.wcsu.edu/writing/mfa. As you see on the schedule, you will have a session with Francine Prose on Friday afternoon. I encourage you to read some of her work and take advantage of the time with her by having questions and comments at the ready.

We also have scheduled a panel on Writing News for Online Media, featuring Jason Leopold from truthout.org. Check out the site and take a look at Jason's memoir, News Junkie, which will be available at the residency.

Most of our activity, including our dorm (Pinney Hall), will be on the Westside campus this time. The evening readings will be at Midtown or off-campus. We have reserved the pub in the new Westside Campus Center for an after-hours (10-midnight) cash bar, so you don't have to worry about driving off-campus (or driving back to campus after visiting bars). The pub will also be equipped with a mic and reading stand, and students are invited to take advantage of this time/space for readings.

Check out the schedule and let me or Laurel know if you have any questions.

See you soon!

OMG is this a full-service residency or what? Reserving the bar for us? And I have to go home *when*?
