WORKING WRITERS

Fall 2011

  • Have you ever wanted to write a magazine or newspaper article? a best-selling book?
  • Have you wondered how to go about it?
  • Do you know what makes good popular nonfiction?

Working Writers is an occasional forum on popular nonfiction where emerging writers and experienced writers, agents, editors, and publishers gather to talk about writing for the mainstream press.

Students, faculty, and staff are invited to attend.  Refreshments will be served.

See the Working Writers poster here.

Thursday, November 3
Neilson Browsing Room, 7:30 pm

In April 2011, Amy Ellis Nutt won the Pulitzer Prize for feature writing for her 20,000-word story "The Wreck of the Lady Mary," and in 2009 was a finalist in the same category.
