Writers Studio Bids Summer Adieu!
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.
