Thank you for your participation and support in our Writers Studio events over the past year. We will return at the end of August. We would like congratulate ACC students Oliver Brainerd and Elena Townsend—our first Writers Studio scholarship recipients! Please congratulate the winners of our 2009 Literary Contest: Ginny Hoyle, poetry and Lynn Wagner, poetry, Margie Warsavage for nonfiction, and Rowena Alegria for Fiction. You can read their winning entries and a list of all runner ups and finalists on our Literary Contest page. Our literary festival blossomed on April 4th despite dire warnings of blizzards. About fifty-five writers joined us for readings and workshops by Poet Mark Irwin, Fiction writer Teague Bohlen, Grace Notes Columnist Natalie Costanza Chavez, and Nonfiction writer John Calderazzo. Our favorite comments by those who attended the festival? I am inspired to write! A wonderful experience! Thank you so much for having this. We need many more, like 1X a month! It was far more than I expected--an event I won't forget soon. Truly a smashing event! OMG! What an awesome festival! I learned so much and got to hear so much good writing that I was totally jazzed! I hope you will join us next year for our 4th Literary Festival! Our goal has been to create a writing community within ACC for both students and community members, and, with your help, we're doing it.
